Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh rhubarb

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, oil, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in chopped rhubarb.
  6. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon for the topping and sprinkle over the batter.

Notes

  • Add chopped nuts or white chocolate chips for variation.
  • Substitute buttermilk with milk + lemon juice or vinegar if needed.
  • Use fresh or thawed frozen rhubarb (pat dry if using frozen).
  • Gluten-free flour blend works as a substitute.
  • Do not peel rhubarb; the skin softens and adds color.
