Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup natural brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • Optional spices: 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/4 tsp cardamom

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh rhubarb, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup plant-based (dairy/cheese) yogurt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts or seeds (such as pumpkin or sunflower)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rhubarb: Wash and finely chop fresh rhubarb pieces. Set aside while gathering the remaining ingredients to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, natural brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and any optional spices. Stir well to evenly distribute all dry components.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together plant-based (dairy/cheese) yogurt, vegetable oil, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and natural vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry: Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine without overmixing. The batter should remain lumpy but well incorporated.
  5. Fold in Rhubarb and Nuts: Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb and optional nuts or seeds until evenly dispersed throughout the batter.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan before transferring to a rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use fresh rhubarb for best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and moist.
  • Begin testing for doneness at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  • Use room temperature ingredients to encourage even rising.
  • Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Slice and freeze pieces separated by parchment paper; thaw at room temperature or toast directly from frozen.
  • Reheat slices in a toaster oven or microwave for enhanced softness and aroma.
