Method

1.Place the oven rack in the middle. Preheat to 160ºC fan bake. Line two standard muffin pans with paper baking cups.
2.Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
3.Cream butter and sugar for about 5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla, sour cream, milk and orange zest. Beat for 5 minutes.
4.Turn mixer to low and combine the flour mixture with the butter mixture, beating until well combined. Fold in the rhubarb.
5.Spoon the batter into muffin cups, filling them two-thirds full. Bake the muffins for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean, the tops spring back when lightly pressed and they are a light golden colour.
6.Remove the muffins from the oven, allow to cool for 5 minutes, then put onto wire racks to cool for a further 15 minutes.
