Orange Pom Muffins

As I've mentioned before, I receive a random bunch of fruits and veggies in a box each week.

Last week, I had an orange and a pomegranate and I didn't want to just eat them with yogurt! So naturally, my dear mother suggested that I make muffins with them! (She's a smart cookie.)

Orange Pom Muffins

1 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp turmeric (or pumpkin pie spice or ground ginger)
1/2 cup sugar
zest from 1 orange
2 flax eggs (or 2 real ones)
1 tbsp chia seeds
2/3 cup soy milk
2 tbsp oil
1/4 cup orange juice pulp (I just peeled the orange, took out the seeds, and blended until smooth in the blender.)
1/3 cup pomegranate seeds
1/3 cup oats
+ pomegranate seeds to sprinkle on top

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare your flax eggs in a medium sized bowl + the chia seeds.
Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, turmeric, and sugar into a large bowl. Add the orange zest and stir.
Add the soy milk, oil, orange pulp to the flax/ chia eggs.
Add the wet guys to the dry guys and stir until combined. Gently fold in the pomegranate seeds and oats.
Spray muffin pans with non-stick spray and spoon the batter into the cups about halfway. Sprinkle 5-6  pomegranate seeds in top of each muffin.
Bake for 20 minutes until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
Serve warm or room temp with a smear of butter and a drizzle of honey.

Yay muffins!
