Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup canola oil or other vegetable oil
  • 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries or frozen strawberries thawed
  • 1 cup diced fresh rhubarb or frozen rhubarb thawed
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Ingredients for Streusel Topping

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Mix flour with the rest of the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. 
  • In a medium bowl, combine the egg, buttermilk and cooking oil.  Mix it well, then add it to the dry mixture in a large bowl.
  • Add 1 cup of fresh rhubarb (or thawed frozen rhubarb) and the strawberries to the mixture and stir until moist. Let the muffin batter rest in the bowl for 20 minutes.
  • Set your oven temp at 375F.
  • Line a muffin pan with paper liners or parchment paper liners. Use a 12-muffin pan and fill each spot 3/4 full.
  • Mix the second amount of brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Mix until it has the consistency of coarse crumbs. Sprinkle this on top of each muffin.
  • Bake muffins in a 375F oven for about 20 minutes. Let the baked muffins stand in the muffin tins for five minutes before cooling on a wire rack. The top of the muffins should be crumbly.
