Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups fresh rhubarb, washed and chopped into small pieces
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (or oil of choice for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rhubarb: Wash and chop fresh rhubarb into small, even pieces to ensure every slice gets a delightful tangy burst.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: Beat the eggs, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, creating a rich base for the bread.
  4. Blend wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined to avoid overmixing and resulting in tough bread.
  5. Add rhubarb: Carefully fold in the chopped rhubarb to evenly distribute it without breaking the pieces down.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and enjoy: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely, enabling easier slicing and better flavor development.

Notes

  • Use fresh rhubarb for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and light.
  • Ensure accurate oven temperature for even baking and to prevent drying out.
  • Add rhubarb last to maintain its texture and avoid mushiness.
  • Test doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
