I shared Banana Rhubarb Muffins back in 2021, and make muffins with rhubarb quite often as my plants go crazy each year.  This year I decided to change things up by making this recipe containing very little processed sugar and less oil, using sour cream for added moistness.  They were amazing.  I took some to my cardio drumming class for my friends. These are the messages that I recieved from them.

You will love these muffins too.  Make them while rhubarb is still in season or use frozen rhubarb in a pinch.

Sour Cream Banana Rhubarb Muffins

 It's Rhubarb Season here in Michigan, and I have been having a blast. Today, I am sharing a recipe for Banana Rhubarb Muffins. These muffins contain very little processed sugar and are filled with fruit for a healthier treat to start your day.

Prep time: 5 MinCook time: 20 MinTotal time: 25 Min

Ingredients

  • 2 over-ripe bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 c. sour cream
  • 1/4 c. vegetable oil
  • 1 t. vanilla
  • 1/2 c. sugar
  • 2 c. flour
  • 1 t. baking powder
  • 1/2 t. baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/4 t. cinnamon
  • 2 stalks rhubarb, cut into small dice, about 1 cup total

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Make a well in the center and set aside.
  2. Place the bananas into the large mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix until smooth, add the eggs, one at a time, mixing after each until incorporated.
  3. With mixer on low speed add in the sour cream, oil, vanilla, and sugar until well mixed.
  4. Pour the banana mixture into the well of dry ingredients and mix by hand just until incorporated. Fold in the rhubarb.
  5. Divide the batter between a 12-cup muffin tin and bake in a preheated 350* oven for 20 minutes, until a skewer inserted removes cleanly.

  1. I am jealous of your homegrown rhubarb every year! I need to figure how how to plant some so that someday I'll have fresh rhubarb too. The banana rhubarb combo with sour cream sounds fabulous, Wendy.

    1. Thanks Stacy. It grows here like a weed...I keep splitting it and giving it to others to plant.

    2. I'm thinking the same thing as Stacy. I have no idea how rhubarb tastes and get jealous every time she mentions it. I just googled. Rhubarb wouldn't survive in the tropics.

    3. I think it's best suited for the cold winters and spring weather in our area.

  3. I love the idea of rhubarb to tart up the banana! I do so love rhubarb, and sour cream in muffins is just so good for the crumb.

  4. Rhubarb's just about the only thing in my garden that's loving this colder wet spring we've had. Adding sour cream to the grocery pickup list!
