Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 0.5 cup buttermilk or substitute with milk having vinegar/lemon juice

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and vegetable oil until fully combined.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in the chopped rhubarb until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the additional sugar on top if using. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Optional: Serve warm with butter and honey or alongside Greek yogurt and fresh berries for a delightful experience. Watch the baking time closely as ovens can vary.
