Ingredients

  • 340 g / 12oz rhubarb ends cut off, washed and chopped into thumb size pieces
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 60 ml / ¼ cup of orange juice
  • 1 vanilla pod sliced down the middle
  • 100 g / ½ a cup of golden castor sugar
  • 375 g / 2 & ½ cups of self raising flour
  • 150 g / ⅔ of a cup of soft brown sugar
  • 1 level teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 level teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 large free range eggs at room temperature, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 125 ml / ½ a cup of buttermilk
  • 125 ml / ½ a cup of sunflower oil

FOR THE CRUMBLE

  • 75 g / ¾ of a cup of self raising flour
  • 2 level tbsp level tablespoon demerara sugar
  • 40 g / 3tbsp butter cut into cubes

Instructions

  • Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees C / 356 F, I use a fan assisted electric oven, please adjust according to your own oven.
  • Add the rhubarb,vanilla pod, orange zest, orange juice and castor sugar to a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Cook gently for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • While the rhubarb is cooking make the crumble topping, add the flour, sugar to a large bowl and mix well.
  • Add the butter then using your finger tips rub the butter into the flour mixture, until you have a rough breadcrumb texture.
  • In another large bowl add the flour, spices and sugar and mix well. Make a well in the centre then add the eggs, buttermilk and oil. Using a knife mix everything together, when it's all combined add the rhubarb and mix well. You should have a wet better.
  • Line a 12 hole muffin tray with muffin cases, drop a large dessertspoon full of the batter into each case. Spoon some of the crumble over each muffin.
  • Bake on the middle shelf for 25 - 30 minutes, check with a metal skewer to make sure they are cooked. They should be golden in colour.
  • Remove from the oven when cooked, leave them in the tray for a few minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool down.
  • Eat warm or cold.
