Spicy Rhubarb and Apple Muffins

I’ve become quite a fan of rhubarb this year, and keep looking for new ideas… This is the result of adapting three different muffin recipes, so I think I can call it my own! For a change, no vanilla today! Instead , some warm spices: cardamom, ginger, cinnamon and allspice.

Preheat oven to 190°C. Prepare 12 muffin tins/cases.

Sift together:

• 280g self-raising flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp allspice
• 1/4 tsp ginger
• 1/2 tsp cardamom
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 125g granulated sugar

In a separate bowl mix together:

• 1 egg
• 150ml milk
• 3 tbsps sour cream
• 75ml vegetable oil

Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir in:

• 100g rhubarb, chopped into 1cm pieces
• 70g finely chopped apple

Fill 12 muffin cases, and sprinkle with:

• a little brown sugar

Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Rhubalicious!
