Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.75 cups Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.33 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 whole Large egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh pomegranate arils (seeds)
- 0.25 cups Crystallized ginger, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground ginger until evenly combined.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if a few small lumps remain.
Fold in the pomegranate arils and chopped crystallized ginger until just evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few dry crumbs.
Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy these delightful pomegranate ginger muffins!
