🥄 Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3. Combine the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk the egg, oil, buttermilk, vanilla, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.
4. Bring It All Together
Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb.
5. Add the Topping (Optional but Recommended!)
Sprinkle the top of the batter with cinnamon sugar for a deliciously crunchy crust once baked.
6. Bake to Perfection
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool & Enjoy
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
💡 Tips & Tricks
Don’t overmix: For tender bread, mix only until the dry ingredients are moistened.
Frozen rhubarb works: Just thaw and drain it well before using.
Make it your own: Add chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch, or swirl in some cream cheese for a richer loaf.
