1

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin to prevent the muffins from sticking. This step ensures that your muffins will bake evenly and have a golden crust.

2

Prepare the dry ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well incorporated.

3

Mix in the wet ingredients

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add 1/2 cup of melted butter, 1/2 cup of milk, 2 eggs, and 1/4 cup of rum. Stir the mixture gently just until the ingredients are combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it could result in tougher muffins.

4

Fold in the ruby red rhubarb

Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of diced ruby red rhubarb into the batter. Make sure the rhubarb is evenly distributed throughout the mixture for bursts of tangy flavor in every bite.

5

Fill the muffin tin

Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, fill each section of the greased muffin tin about three-fourths full. This allows room for the muffins to rise while baking without overflowing.

6

Bake to perfection

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin to check for doneness. If the toothpick comes out clean or with only a few crumbs clinging to it, the muffins are ready.
