Super Healthy Vegan Pomegranate Orange Muffins Recipes

EASY ORANGE MUFFINS RECIPE (VEGAN, GLUTEN FREE, DAIRY-FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients: oat flour, almond flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
• Add water and milk to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 10-second increments until just warm. This will prevent the melted coconut oil from solidifying once mixed with these liquids.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients: water, milk, orange juice, orange zest, oil, sugar, maple syrup and vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated.
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Whisk until just incorporated, making sure no flour patches remain.
• Pour batter evenly into prepared muffin pan-filling each cup all the way to the top for big, round tops, and ¾ of the way for a larger quantity of smaller muffins. Bake for 22-26 minutes. Mine took 24 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check for doneness-once it comes out clean, it's done.
• Place muffin pan on a cooling rack to cool for 20 minutes. Remove muffins from muffin pan and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 1-3 hours. Optionally, in a small bowl, whisk together Glaze ingredients until thickened: confectioners' sugar and orange juice. Drizzle muffins. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

POMEGRANATE-ORANGE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners. Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl; make a well in the center.
• Wash 2 clementines and cut into 8 pieces each (peel and all); transfer to a blender. Add the milk; blend until smooth. Add the eggs and blend until combined. Pour into the well in the flour mixture, add the melted butter and stir until just combined. The batter will be lumpy.
• Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them three-quarters of the way. Top evenly with the pomegranate seeds. Bake until the muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let the muffins cool 5 minutes in the pans, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
• Put the confectioners' sugar in a small bowl and squeeze in the juice from half of the remaining clementine. Stir to make a thick glaze, adding the juice from the remaining clementine half as needed. Drizzle the glaze over the muffins and let set 10 minutes.

SUPER-HEALTHY VEGAN POMEGRANATE ORANGE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with papers.
• Combine the ground flax and water in a measuring cup, and whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes. Let this stand while you assemble the other ingredients. It will have become quite thick and gooey, and this is probably the very best egg substitute I know for vegan baked goods.
• Sift together the flours, sugar, baking power and soda in a large bowl. Add the wet ingredients (all but pom seeds), and mix till just moistened; as usual, over-mixing will lead to heavy muffins. Finally, fold in the pomegranate seeds, reserving a few for the muffin tops.
• Divide the batter equally in the prepared cups. Sprinkle five or six seeds on the top of each muffin, and pop 'em in the oven. 20-25 minutes should do it.
• Remove, toothpick-test, let cool on a rack, and enjoy warm with tea!
