Recipe from the Blackcurrant Foundation 

Ingredients

  • 100g caster sugar 
  • 100g soft light brown sugar 
  • eggs 
  • 125ml light olive oil (not extra virgin and the lightest blend you can find)
  • 250ml whole milk 
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 
  • 180g oat flour 
  • 180g sweet rice flour 
  • 40g potato flour 
  • 1 tbsp baking powder 
  • 1 tsp salt 
  • 150g white chocolate chips 
  • 150g blackcurrants (fresh or frozen)

Method

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 170°C and prepare a 12 hole muffin tin with muffin liners.
  2. Place the sugars, eggs, olive oil, milk, thyme and vanilla in a large bowl and beat together until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl whisk together the flours, baking powder and salt until thoroughly combined. Add the flour mixture to the batter and beat together until smooth.
  4. Stir in the chocolate chips and the blackcurrants until evenly dispersed. Divide the batter into muffin cases, filling to just below the top.
  5. Bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until risen and the blackcurrants are bursting out. Remove the muffins from the tin straight away to cool on a wire rack.
  6. Drizzle with extra melted white chocolate if you like.
