Rhubarb Blueberry Muffins

SUBMITTED BY: Dorothy Ross

"'We were camping, and I didnt have enough milk for my usual blueberry muffin recipe, recalls Dorothy Ross of Ear Falls, Ontario. I did have some sour cream and a bit of rhubarb, so I used those. The muffins were awesome, and now I make them often!"

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a small mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add egg and sour cream; mix well. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Fold in blueberries and rhubarb.
  2. Fill 12 greased or paper-lined muffin cups about two-thirds full. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding to batter.

If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.

Editor's Note: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before adding to batter. If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.

These were a big hit. A nice flavor combination in a moist muffin. Mine didn't rise as much as I would have liked, perhaps my baking powder is a bit old. I substituted bettermilk for the milk and plain yoghurt for the sour cream. Thanks for a great recipe!

These are VERY good! I did substitute 1/2 the flour for Whole Wheat Flour. Don't think I will do that again. I received GREAT reviews from co-workers and requests for more food made with the rhubarb!
