Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
2
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of 2% low-fat milk with 2 teaspoons of vinegar. Let sit for about 5 minutes to sour the milk.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar, vegetable oil, the soured milk, the egg, and the vanilla extract until well combined.

In another bowl, mix together 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
5
Fold in 3 cups of chopped rhubarb gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Once the muffins are done, allow them to cool for a few minutes before spooning the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of each muffin while they are still warm.
