I just love rhubarb. Well in a pie, a crisp or a muffin or this bread specifically. I mean, even with all it's many benefits, it's kind of sour by itself really. To me rhubarb screams spring. It's hardly ever available so when I find it in the grocery or the market, I snap it up instantly to make this bread, a recipe that my friend Kathryn passed along to me a couple years back.
Rhubarb Streudel Bread
Ingredients:
1 cup of milk
1 tbsp lemon
juice/vinegar
1 teaspoon of vanilla
extract
1 ¼ cups brown sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
2 and 1/2 cups flour (I either mix mine half wheat and white
or use the ‘wheat but tastes like white’ flour)
1 tsp baking soda
1 ½ cups chopped
rhubarb
½ cup chopped nuts (I
usually use pecans/walnuts or sliced almonds)
Topping:
¼ cup brown sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp butter melted
Preheat oven to 325
degrees and grease 2 loaf pans or muffin tins
Combine the milk,
lemon juice/vinegar and vanilla and let stand for 10 minutes. Alternatively, I’ve
used a cup of plain yogurt instead and it’s done the trick.
Stir the flour and
baking soda in another bowl
Mix together sugar, oil and egg. Combine the flour mix, sugar mixture and milk mixture until just combined.
Your kids can even make a mess help with this step.
Fold in rhubarb and
nuts. Pour batter into loaf pans/muffin tins
Mix the sugar,
cinnamon and butter together and sprinkle atop the unbaked loaves.
Bake in oven for
35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. For muffins, it should
take 20 minutes.
This time we made it as muffins (which freeze really well) but I prefer the bread as it's so much more moist.
Delicious and not too bad for you either!
Happy Spring, everyone!
