Wintertide Muffins: Orange and Pomegranate

Pomegranates are an underrated fruit, in my opinion. They hold such a unique zippy flavor and yet few people are baking with them! I theorize this is because it takes a little work to remove the seeds, but the effort is worth it! I have been very excited about pomegranates lately and want to incorporate them into more recipes before they go out of season. This is the best part of seasonal eating: the excitement I find from knowing something I love is limited and wanting to enjoy it as much as I can before it goes away. This winter, I plan to relish as much winter fruit as I possibly can while everything is fresh in season. To learn more about seasonal living and eating, read my blog about Wintering!

Pomegranates are also an antioxidant-rich food full of antiviral vitamin C. All the more reason to enjoy them this winter!

Equipment you will need:

  • Large and medium bowls
  • My favorite All purpose Flour
  • Muffin Stone

Orange Pomegranate Muffins

Prep Time15 minutes mins
Cook Time25 minutes mins
Course: Snack
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Seasonal Recipes
Servings: 12 Muffins

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of organic unbleached all-purpose flour you can also use oat flour to make it gluten-free
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
  • 1/4 cup of organic granulated sugar
  • 1/8 cup of organic maple syrup
  • ⅛ cup of raw organic honey
  • 1 organic egg
  • 1/2 cup of organic half and half You can also use milk
  • 1/4 cup of neutral oil I like to do melted coconut oil (or melted butter!)
  • 1 teaspoon of organic vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • Zest of one large orange
  • Juice of one large orange
  • Seeds of one pomegranate

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 F and use coconut oil or butter to grease a muffin tin or stone. I don’t typically use muffin liners as they create extra waste and are unnecessary if you grease the tin very well.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine wet ingredients
  • Zest and juice your orange before adding to the wet ingredients
  • Slowly add the dry mix to the wet, mixing until fully incorporated
  • Gently fold in pomegranate seeds
  • Dollop your mixture into all 12 muffin tins until they are about three-quarters of the way full.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and tops are golden
