    • 5 Ingredient Pomegranate Chocolate Bread
    a photo of several loaves of pomegranate chocolate chip bread. This is a quick bread recipe with pomegranate arils and white chocolate chips.

    Ingredients

    The ingredient list is simple for this recipe. All you need is:

    • Self Rising Flour
    • Sweetened Condensed Milk
    • Butter
    • Pomegranates or Cranberries
    • White Chocolate Chips

    Baking Times

    There are several ways to bake this bread. You can make muffins, mini loaves or regular sized loaves of bread. Bake at 350 degrees and don't forget to lightly grease your muffin and loaf pans.

    Cooking time is:

    • Muffins: 18-23 minutes
    • Mini Loaf: 25-28 minutes
    • 8x4 inch bread pan: 35-40 minutes
    • 9x5 inch bread pan: 45-55 minutes

    Storage

    Once the bread has cooled completely, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bread for up to 3 months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil before freezing.

    If you drizzle your loaves in white chocolate, please note that the chocolate may change texture/color slightly in storage.

    Substitutions

    There are a number of substitutions you can make in this recipe to accommodate for any dietary needs or preferences you may have.

    • Gluten free: You will want to use a gluten free self rising flour.
    • Dairy free and Vegan: Make sure to substitute dairy free sweetened condensed milk. You will also want to substitute dairy free white chocolate chips. Use a dairy free or plant based butter as well.

    Tips for Making the Perfect Pomegranate Chocolate Bread

    While this recipe is simple, a few tips can help ensure your bread turns out perfectly every time.

    • Use Fresh Pomegranate Seeds: Fresh pomegranate seeds provide the best flavor and texture. If using store-bought pomegranate arils, make sure they’re fresh and not overly juicy to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
    • Avoid Overmixing: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can cause the bread to become tough and dense.
    • Check for Doneness: Baking times can vary depending on your oven, so start checking the bread several minutes prior to your timer going off. Inserting a toothpick into the center of bread to check for doneness can help. If the bread is not quite done when the timer goes off, make sure to check every few minutes for doneness.

    FAQ

    Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?

    Yes, you can use regular all-purpose flour instead of self-rising flour. However, you’ll need to add 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt to the recipe to achieve the same rise and texture.

    Can I use dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate chips?

    Absolutely! If you prefer a more intense chocolate flavor, you can substitute dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips for the white chocolate chips. Just keep in mind that the overall flavor will be richer and slightly less sweet.

    Can I use pomegranate juice instead of seeds?

    Pomegranate seeds provide both flavor and texture to the bread, so it’s best to use them rather than juice. However, if you only have pomegranate juice, you could try reducing the amount of sweetened condensed milk and adding a small amount of juice for flavor, but the result will be different.

    Can I add other mix-ins to the bread?

    Yes, this recipe is versatile, so feel free to add other mix-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even a swirl of peanut butter or Nutella. Just be mindful that additional mix-ins might slightly alter the texture and baking time.
