Here's my rhubarb muffin recipe. It makes 12-18 muffins, depending on the size of your muffin forms.

1 pound flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 pound sugar (in my recipe, the sugar is weighed)

1/3 cup canola oil

2 large eggs (or three medium sized eggs)

1 cup plain yogurt

1/2 pound rhubarb, peeled and cut into finger thick pieces. (I used frozen rhubarb straight from the freezer and it worked too)

Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl, and the wet ingredients in another bowl. Add the wet ingredients and the ruhbarb to the dry ingredients and blend well. Add a little more yogurt if the dough is too dry.

Bake at 350F for 20 minutes or until done.

Fill the muffin forms 2/3 full with dough

 
Thanks Eva! Can anyone help me with the weight-to-measurement issue? A lb. of flour = ?

and 1/3 lb. of sugar = ?

TIA!

 
One pound of all-purpose flour is 4 cups, and a pound of white, granulated sugar is 2 cups. Muffins

sound good, Eva!

 
The weight varies according to brand.I use Gold Medal Unbleached AP Flour, & it weighs 4.5oz per cup

 
And it depends on what method of measurement you use, ie, spoon & sweep vs scoop and sweep - I use

spoon and sweep.

Examples:

King Arthur measures their AP flour with the Spoon and Sweep method and 1 cup equals 4.25 oz

Fine Cooking recipes use Gold Medal AP Flour with the Spoon and Sweep method, and 1 cup equals 4.5 oz (exactly the same as my calculations).

Cook's Illustrated uses the Scoop and Sweep method - (brand of flour not indicated), and 1 cup equals 5 oz

 
chezz, this recipe is pretty robust, so I think you could try with the measurements that DawnNYS

posted.
I cut the sugar a little last time, didn't have quite enough canola oil and added a little bit more rhubarb. They still came out yumy smileys/smile.gif

 
I'd use 3 1/2 cups of flour and 3/4 cup sugar....

I use a 4.5 oz cup of flour, which is kinda like a spoon and sweep, so 1 lb is just a tad bit over 3.5 cups.

For the sugar, I use 7 oz. per cup, so 1/3 lb = 5 1/3 oz = 3/4 cup.

 
Thanks all - I guess it's just a bit of a fiddle, but I'm used to that anyway smileys/smile.gif
