- In another bowl, mix together buttermilk, oil, egg, vanilla, and sugar until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Notes
- You can use frozen rhubarb—just thaw and drain before using.
- For a sweeter loaf, sprinkle a bit of sugar on top before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
