Eggless Pomegranate Apple Walnut Muffins

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate arils
  • 3/4 cup apple lemon juice grated + 1 xbd tsp
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup walnuts chopped
  • 2 tsps baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions
 

  • Sieve together the flours and baking powder into a bowl. Add the salt, and sugar and mix well. Now add the pomegranate, walnuts and mix. Add the apple and lemon juice. Pour in the milk and oil.
  • Fold the mixture very lightly till everything is just mixed. Overmixing will spoil the texture of the muffins.
  • Spoon batter into greased muffin cups/ pans and bake at 200C for about 15 -20 minutes till the tops are golden brown. Cool muffins in the cups for about 10 minutes, remove and cool on a rack.
  • This recipe gave me 10 domed muffins. My muffin cups are slightly bigger and I filled them with batter so they would be domed. With smaller muffin tins you should get 12 muffins.

Notes

 
 
Verdict:
The muffins were a little more moist than usual and this is probably because of the pomegranate. While we decided that they were not bad, we unanimously voted to keep our muffins free of pomegranate in future. We will definitely continue eating our pomegranates in our earlier established fashion!
These muffins were made for AFAM Pomegranate at SRA's blog. I am also sending them over to Suganya for WBB: Healthy Eats as they are healthy and great for breakfast. These are also going to Vanamala's Kids Food Event as my daughter loves muffins and I often make them for her.
