Ingredients
  

  • 150 g Fresh Rhubarb Chopped into 2cm chunks
  • 115 g Granulated Sugar
  • 125 g Plain Flour
  • 50 g Oats plus extra to sprinkle
  • 1.5 tsp Baking Powder
  • 80 ml Milk any will work
  • 60 g Melted Butter allow to cool a little
  • 1 Medium Egg
  • 35 ml Vegetable Oil
For the Custard Drizzle
  • 38 g Instant Custard Half a small packet

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line 6 holes of a muffin tin.
  2. Combine the chopped rhubarb and sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
  3. Mix together the flour, oats and baking powder.
  4. Make a well and add in the milk, butter, oil and egg. Stir together gently with a wooden spoon.
  5. Add the sugar/rhubarb mixture (and any liquid in the bowl) and stir together until just combined.
  6. Scoop the mix into the muffin liners, never filling beyond 2/3 full. If you find you have too much mixture, fill another muffin liner. Optional: Scatter over some remaining oats.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown on top. Let cool on a wire rack.
  8. Make the drizzle by combining the instant custard and boiling water. It will be thick. Add the icing sugar. Drizzle/spoon over the muffins and serve!
