Strawberry-Rhubarb Muffins

Difficulty: easy Prep Time: Fifteen Minutes Total Time: Under an hour
1 3/4 cups flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup canola oil
1 cup minced rhubarb, frozen
3/4 cup sliced strawberries

Cinnamon-Sugar Topping
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp white sugar

Heat oven to 400F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, combine egg, milk and oil; stir into flour mixture just until moistened. Fold in rhubarb and sliced strawberries. In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon and sugar for topping. Spoon batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full. Sprinkle tops generously with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the muffins comes out clean. Remove muffins from tin and place on a wire rack to cool. Makes 12 muffins.
