Mmmm...haven't tried this yet. Sounds good. Next time pomegranates are on sale, this is my #1 priority!(or 24 mini, 6 jumbo)

Time 20m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups flour
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup crystallized ginger, minced (check out Crystallized Ginger for how to make your own!)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
1 1/4 cups pomegranate seeds
1 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup butter, margarine,melted or 1/4 cup vegetable oil
sugar, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425F.
  • Grease 12 muffin tins.
  • Mix dry ingredients (sugar, flour, baking powder, salt) in a large bowl.
  • Mix wet ingredients (milk, egg, oil/butter, lemon zest) in a medium bowl.
  • Make a"well" in your dry ingredients and pour in your wet ingredients until just mixed.
  • Overmixing will make your muffins tough.
  • You may want to undermix it a bit and finish your mixing with the next step when you add the pomegranate/ginger.
  • Fold in pomegranate seeds and ginger.
  • Spoon into greased muffin tins.
  • Sprinkle tops with sugar, which will caramelize in the oven and make a lovely sugary top.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes until puffed and golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Let cool for 5-10 minutes in the tin, then remove and cool on a cookie rack, or serve.
  • You may use mini-muffin tins or jumbo muffin tins, but the cook time will vary.
  • Muffins tend to need to be watched carefully, regardless.
  • Another possibility might be to mix some powdered ginger (a small amount, it is strong) with your sugar topping.

I'm allergic to pomegranates, so I used blueberries instead. The muffins were still really good!

These muffins are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the sugar next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use a little more spice, maybe some cinnamon or nutmeg.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my muffins turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I didn't have any pomegranate seeds, so I used dried cranberries instead. The muffins still turned out great!

The muffins were a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used a little too much sugar. I'll try reducing the sugar next time.
