01
Step 1
Start by bringing some water and flax seeds to a boil in a saucepan. Once it’s boiling, turn the heat down and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. Then strain out the seeds and let the flax mixture cool until it’s just lukewarm.
02
Step 2
While that’s cooling, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line 18 muffin cups with paper liners. In a small bowl, mix the soy milk with lemon juice and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens and curdles a bit.

Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, blend the brown sugar with oil, then stir in half a cup of your cooled flax mixture, the curdled soy milk, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently fold them together along with the chopped rhubarb, being careful not to overmix.

Step 4
Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. For the topping, mix together brown sugar, vegan margarine, and cinnamon until crumbly, then sprinkle a little over each muffin.

Step 5
Bake the muffins for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
