My Grandma sent me a GIANT pomegranate a few weeks ago and I had no idea what to do with it. The first question in my mind is "how the heck do i get the seeds out???". Fear not, Grandma sent a little flyer from POM on how to de-seed a pomegranate. So the first step was to de-seed!
Success. So now that I have all of these seeds, what do I do with them? Well let's see, I have oatmeal, sugar, and chocolate chips. I've got it, muffins! I found an awesome recipe online and tweaked it a little bit. Okay, a lot a bit. They came out great!
Makes 14 delicious muffins
Ingredients
1¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
½ cup vegetable oil
⅓ cup water
1 cup pomegranate seeds
½ cup old fashion rolled oats
½ cup chocolate chips (or more!)
Topping
3 tablespoons melted butter
½ cup light brown sugar
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup old fashion rolled oats
¼ cup pomegranate seeds
Directions
Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Line muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.
In a large bowl mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add in the water, eggs, and oil. Stir together until well combined. Stir in pomegranate seeds and oats.
Pour the batter into lined muffin tins about ¾ full, then set aside.
In a medium bowl stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, rolled oats, pomegranate seeds and chocolate chips.
Generously sprinkle the topping on top of each muffin. Don't worry, most of it will stick to the muffins. Bake for about 22-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool on wire rack...or if you're like me, you're impatient and won't actually let them cool and want to eat them right away. Either way, enjoy!
p.s. these freeze really well so you can save some for later too
