Description
Baked Rhubarb Fritters are a delightful treat made with fresh rhubarb, perfect for a sweet snack or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped into small pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
- Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each fritter.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the fritters to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
Notes
- For a sweeter treat, consider adding chocolate chips or nuts to the batter.
- You can substitute the rhubarb with diced strawberries or apples for a different flavor.
- Enjoy these fritters warm for the best taste!
