Serves: 12
Ingredients
For the Streusel
  • 1⁄2 cup flour
  • 1⁄2 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp. packed light brown sugar
  • 1⁄2 tsp. lemon zest
  • 1⁄2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1⁄4 tsp. almond extract
  • 4 tbsp. unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1⁄2 cup chopped almonds
  • For the Muffins
  • Unsalted butter, for greasing
  • 3 cups flour, plus more for pan
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1⁄2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1⁄4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1⁄2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1⁄2 cup canola oil
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 oz. rhubarb (about 2 medium stalks), cut into 1⁄4" pieces
Instructions
For the streusel:
  1. Whisk together flour, both sugars, zest, salt, and extract in a small bowl.
  2. Add butter, and using your fingers, rub into almond mixture until smooth and large clumps form. Stir in almonds and transfer to refrigerator; chill until ready to use.
For the muffins:
  1. Heat oven to 350°.
  2. Grease and flour muffin pans; set aside.
  3. Whisk together 2 3⁄4 cups flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl; set aside. In another bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, both sugars, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract; pour mixture over dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.
  4. In a small bowl, toss remaining flour with rhubarb until evenly coated, and then stir into batter. Working in batches, place cup batter in muffin cups, break streusel up into medium-sized clumps, and sprinkle evenly over muffins.
  5. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle of each muffin comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
  6. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
The original recipe says it yields 18 muffins, but I was only able to get 12 out of my batter. If you wish to make your muffins a bit smaller than mine, then I am sure you can get 18 out of this batter.
