Rhubarb and Cardamom Oatmeal Muffins Recipe
The batter comes together quickly and can even be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge then scooped out and baked first thing in the morning for a delicious breakfast. These muffins also freeze well once baked so make a double batch to have on hand whenever you’re craving the summery taste of rhubarb. These muffins are naturally gluten-free – just make sure to look for gluten-free oats when you’re at the grocery store. If you’ve never baked with cardamom before you’ll love this aromatic spice that pairs perfectly with hints of cinnamon and vanilla.
To make these muffins you’ll want to use fresh rhubarb stalks. Frozen rhubarb slices will also work if you can’t find fresh rhubarb. The rhubarb is tossed with a little light brown sugar ground cardamom and cinnamon before being added to the batter. Oat flour and quick-cooking oats form the base of the muffins. Flaxseed meal helps add structure the muffins are sweetened with extra brown sugar and both baking powder and baking soda are used to help them rise. Sea salt and the zest of a small lemon add flavor to the dry ingredients. Large eggs canola oil and oat milk moisten the batter and vanilla extract adds extra flavor and sweetness. A streusel topping is made with raw walnuts more brown sugar and oat butter and extra cinnamon cardamom and sea salt.
Preheat the oven to 175°C.
