Ingredients

    2 cups whole wheat flour
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    ¼ cup Splenda
    2 tbsp baking powder
    ½ tsp salt
    1 tsp cinnamon

    1 ½ cups 1% milk
    ½ cup unsweetened applesauce

Place the oven rack in the middle position. Preheat oven to 375. Spray a 12 slot, non-stick muffin pan with sesame oil. Place the first 6 ingredients in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Stir in pomegranate seeds. In another bowl, combine the eggs, milk, applesauce and the vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until just combined. Spoon the batter into the muffin pan allowing it to rise right to the top of each slot. Bake for 20 – 22 minutes, or until puffed and golden.

Note: 1 large pomegranate should yield 1 ½ cups of seeds.

    Good
    I think a little more splenda/sweetness and a little more cinnamon was needed. They are great toasted with a little smart balance and cinnamon sugar - 2/23/10

    Please, please, please! This is scary and it put a big question mark on everything else. When I see a diet muffin recipe of 2,600 calories, I wonder who revised this posting and what about other recipes? - 11/14/09

    Good
    I made these tonight and they were good. I used all whole wheat flour. My whole family liked them and they are very picky. I will make them again. - 11/18/08

    I think the nutritional info must be really wrong. It says it makes 12 muffins. I don't recall ever seeing any recipe with those numbers. Wow, this would be way too much for anyone to be eating! I will make this as it sounds delicious and I love anything made with whole wheat flour. - 11/6/08

    I made them this morning and they were great. I used a litlle honey instead of splenda for the sweetener. I also only used whole wheat flour. My family loved it.
