POMEGRANATE-ORANGE MUFFINS

Time 2h
Yield 18 muffins
Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners. Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl; make a well in the center.
- Wash 2 clementines and cut into 8 pieces each (peel and all); transfer to a blender. Add the milk; blend until smooth. Add the eggs and blend until combined. Pour into the well in the flour mixture, add the melted butter and stir until just combined. The batter will be lumpy.
- Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them three-quarters of the way. Top evenly with the pomegranate seeds. Bake until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let the muffins cool 5 minutes in the pans, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
- Put the confectioners' sugar in a small bowl and squeeze in the juice from half of the remaining clementine. Stir to make a thick glaze, adding the juice from the remaining clementine half as needed. Drizzle the glaze over the muffins and let set 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400° F. and line twenty-four 1/2-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
- Make filling:
- In a small bowl stir together filling ingredients until combined well. Filling keeps, covered and chilled, 1 week.
- Make batter:
- Into a large bowl sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg and stir in cereal. Add eggs, buttermilk, oil, and raisins, stirring just until combined well. Batter keeps, covered and chilled, 1 week.
- Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon batter into each tin and top with 2 teaspoons filling. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon batter over filling, spreading to cover filling completely. Bake muffins in middle of oven 20 to 25 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.
Tips:
- Use fresh pomegranates: Fresh pomegranates add the best flavor and texture to these muffins. If you can't find fresh pomegranates, you can use frozen pomegranate arils, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups halfway: This will allow the muffins to rise properly and prevent them from overflowing.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
