redcurrant muffins

    Hi everyone!

It's been a super busy last month and I haven't been much at home. And that is why I haven't been able to update my blog as often as I would have wanted. But I'm not complaining, it's been a great summer! We went on holiday to UK's Lake District, what an amazing place! Definitely going back there someday, hopefully next summer :)

But now I'm back and ready to hit the kitchen with my awesome new ideas. The berry season is here and I have lots and lots of redcurrants. I'll have to check the blackcurrants and gooseberries, but at least redcurrants grew beautifully this year.

These muffins get their sweetness from white chocolate, but if you want to leave that out, just add more sugar, perhaps to 240g/1.2 cup.

Ingredients:

2 eggs
170g/3/4 cup sugar
200g/1.6 cup all purpose flour
2 tspn vanilla extract
2 1/2 tspn baking powder
3/4 tspn salt
150g / 1 cup redcurrants
100g/ 1 cup white chocolate
1 dl/0.4 cup milk
1 dl/0.4 cup vegetable oil

The recipe:

1. Preheat your oven to 200c/400F and line your muffin pan with paper liners.
2. Mix together eggs and sugar until it's pale yellow and thick.
3. Mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Chop the white chocolate.
4. Measure the milk, oil and vanilla extract together.
5. When the eggs and sugar mixture is ready shift the dry ingredients carefully. Take turns with the liquid                   ingredients.
6. Add chocolate and berries and mix very carefully so that the mixture stays airy and we get light
    muffins.
7. Fill the liners 3/4 full and bake about 15-20 minutes.

To get the best results, use room temperature ingredients. 

Happy baking!
