- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups chopped fresh or thawed rhubarb

- Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb.
- Fill the muffin cups about ¾ full with batter.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture generously over the muffin tops.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of ground ginger or nutmeg to the batter.
