Best Pomegranate Ginger Muffins Recipes

POMEGRANATE-GINGER MUFFINS

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.

POMEGRANATE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Mix wet and dry ingredients separately.
• De-seed pomegranates in a bowl of water to help prevent seeds from popping.
• Combine ingredients, folding in the pomegranate seeds last. Mix as lightly as possible.
• Bake at 400°F for about 20 minutes, depending on size of muffins and your oven.
• Remove and place on cold, wet towel to make taking the muffins out easier. Wait until the muffins have cooled before removing them from the tin.
