Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 22 servings

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar

  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt

  • 1 1/2 cups finely chopped rhubarb

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line two muffin pans with liners.

  2. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add in eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Turn the mixer speed up to medium-high, and beat batter until it is very light and fluffy, and has lightened in color, about 5 minutes. Mix in vanilla and almond extracts.

  3. Add in 1 cup flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg and mix on low speed until just combined. Add in yogurt and mix until just combined. Add in remaining 1 cup flour and mix until just incorporated. Fold in chopped rhubarb.

  4. Divide batter between the lined muffin cups, filling each one about 3/4 full.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until muffins spring back lightly when touched, 20 to 23 minutes. Allow muffins to cool in the pan a few minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
