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 not usually a fan of muffins, but these were really good! The pomegranate and ginger flavors were a nice change from the usual chocolate chip or blueberry muffins.

Not bad, but I think I would have liked them more if I had used fresh ginger instead of ground ginger.

Followed the recipe but the muffins came out dry. Not sure what went wrong.

These muffins are amazing! The perfect balance of sweet and tart, and the ginger adds a nice kick. I'll be making these again and again.

Not a fan of the pomegranate-ginger combo. The muffins were a bit too tart for my taste.

Easy to make and so tasty! I used fresh pomegranate seeds and grated ginger, and the flavors really shone through. Will definitely make these again.

Followed the recipe exactly and the muffins turned out great! The pomegranate gives them a lovely tartness that balances out the sweetness of the ginger. Definitely a keeper!
