Pleazzzz tell me you have had pomegranate seeds or arils as they are properly called, but who am I kidding we are SO not proper over here.

Pomegranate seeds are the most delicious thing about winter, I mean why should summer have all the fun?

Now, normally I don’t mix fruit and chocolate. Unless…..unless it’s chocolate and bananas. But I mean it’s chocolate and bananas, so that just does not count. Actually, I can not think of anytime were I have ever mixed my fruit (other than bananas) with chocolate.

I know. I know. What about Chocolate Covered Strawberries and Chocolate Mousse with Raspberries or Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake. Nope, none of those will fly around here. We like our fruit as fruit and our chocolate, well very chocolaty. What can I say, we don’t mess around when it comes to chocolate.

While I have changed my tune! These muffin are soooo good. I mean like lick the muffin wrapper clean good (trust me I have done this……several times now).

You guys, words do not describe this muffin’s deliciousness. The pomegranate seeds just make these muffins…..not the chocolate! WOW! I can not believe I just said that, but it’s true. The chocolate really just helps the pomegranate seeds shine.

  1. Just tried these and they are very, very delicious! My kids love them! And honestly my family and I all love your recipes!! Thanks!

  2. 5 stars
    Very tasty and moist. Must warn guests about the pomegranate arils as they can be scary if you have diverticulitis. Overall I would make again, but without muffin/cupcake cups (just use cooking spray so choco chips don’t stick to baking pan)…A++

  3. I just made these yesterday. They turned out great! The only thing I messed up on was not reducing the moisture level when replacing ap flour with soft white wheat, so it really didn’t bake up. I added more whole wheat to the rest of the batter and they baked up perfectly. I also replaced plain applesauce for the oil. Great substitute. The pomegranate added a nice texture. Thanks for the recipe.
