Needed something to use up the rest of a can of pumpkin. Pomegranate seeds were left over from a salad recipe. A lucky - and tasty! - coincidence.

12 muffins (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup Grape-Nuts cereal (or similar cereal)
1/2 cup sugar or Splenda granular
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup fat-free buttermilk or soured milk
1 egg, beaten
3/4-1 cup pomegranate seeds

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350. Coat 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
2
Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.
3
In a second bowl, combine wet ingredients.
4
Toss pomegranate seeds in the flour mix to coat.
5
Add wet ingredients to flour mix. Stir until just combined.
6
Pour into muffin cups. Bake for 20-30 minutes. Let cool before unmolding.

I used rolled oats, as someone suggested. My muffins look exactly like SweetySJD's picture. They are moist and not too sweet! I had never bought a pomegranate, but always wanted to see what it was all about! This was a great recipe for those little pomegranate seeds! Delicious. I baked mine in the 24 ct Pampered Chef muffin tin (heaped them up pretty high) for 17 minutes, and I had some leftover batter for 1 muffin in a custard cup. Also, I did spray th e muffin tin with PAM. No problems getting them out.

These were really good. I couldn't find pomegranate seeds, so I used raisins instead, and they turned out good. I wonder if cranberries would work too? Maybe next time!

Here's one of those healthy recipes that I've been looking for! Very tasty, moist muffin that has just the right amount of sweetness. I substituted rolled oats for the Grape-Nuts, and combined the pomegranate seeds with raisins. (Also, I did the math, and each muffin comes out to be about 2 Weight Watchers points. Pretty good!)

These caught my eye because I like to experiment with unusual combinations. I was pleasently surprised! I followed the recipe exactly and the only difference was the cook time. Mine took about 30-35 minutes. I was very impressed with how moist they were considering how little fat is in them. The muffins also turned out beautifully.
