For the final day of seasonal fruits, I have a recipe with pomegranate. Though pomegranate is available all year round like all the other fruits, the fruits available now are really good. They are big, colourful pearls and sweet in taste than the artificial tasting ones. I was looking for a recipe but most of them turned out to be jellies or cheesecakes which I was not at all interested in. As you know I make cakes and breads with coconut flour for my low carb diet. So decided to incorporate the pomegranate pearls.
The first day I made a cake with stevia and it turned out amazing. The pomegranate became really sweet after baking and combined with stevia, it was a delicious treat. the next day I tried this bread. Without any artificial sweeteners and only pomegranate pearls, I was hoping that it would be sweet, but the bread turned out to be very mildly sweet. This tasted so good with some butter slathered on it. If you like it sweet, then add 1/2 tsp of stevia in the batter. Again like all the coconut flour breads I bake, this can be either baked in OTG or you can make a 2 minutes bread in MW. The MW version will be slightly different and the crust won’t be this good. So if you have some time, then bake it in OTG.

Wow, this bread looks ultimate and quite innovative Gayathri.. Excellent bread to give a try without any fail. And love the addition of pomegranate pearls to the bread, unique one.
Wow! Coconut flour and pom pearls – what an innovative combination, Gayathri. Let me know if the eggs here can be substituted.
Thanks Harini. I haven’t yet figured out the perfect sub for eggs. But paneer would work..
I really have to try this coconut flour – I cant get over the so small quantity you need
Sounds really interesting Gayathri. You really make sure to try your hand at such innovative combinations…
excellent mug cake with the coconut flour and pomegranate. How is it using coconut flour?? I read that you need more liquid content as it absorbs a lot. It is lying in my kitchen but did not use it so far.
Thank you Bhawana. Yes, coconut flour needs more liquid in the recipe. The eggs take care of that.
