Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg for about 30 seconds.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the room temperature egg, Greek yogurt, avocado oil, milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb that has been tossed in a little flour.
  6. Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full, and sprinkle with demerara sugar.
  7. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes until golden. Insert a toothpick to check for doneness.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
