I’m so glad you enjoyed them, Heather! It’s been a few years since I’ve made these, I should put them back in the rotation. Thanks for trying and for sharing your feedback!

I just made these muffins and they are wonderful!! I was searching for any ways to use our white currants and lavender from the garden and stumbled upon your recipe. I had to use whole wheat flour and was nervous…. I was careful not to over mix and added another TB of butter and they are great. So moist, so fragrant. Thanks!!

Sorry to hear these didn’t work out for you! I’ll have to go back and re-test… will update the recipe with any changes.

Made my kitchen smell amazing. Tasty, but much too heavy with no rise. I won’t be saving this one.

It will definitely be delicious with red currants – I missed the peak ripeness for mine (and the birds got most of them!) and I’m super bummed. I think we are starting to get to the creative part of the house… it’s both fun and stressful at the same time :-)

I was looking for something sweet to prepare with my red currants stash, and I’m pretty sure these muffins will taste great with red instead of white currants… right? :)
All I can say regarding the apartment-house transition is that living in a house will make you feel that you have started an ongoing, never-ending process – but that’s where our creativity flourish

Thank you Angelica! I can only imagine how much more dispersed stuff becomes in a 5 year timeline… so far we’ve moved every 2 and it still seems overwhelming!

And yes, gooseberries and currants are very similar in flavor, although I think gooseberries are slightly sweeter.

What an interesting combination… What do white currants taste like; similar to gooseberries?

I empathise with the stresses of relocating and the enormous task of packing / unpacking, as I moved out of my apartment of five years a couple of months ago. It’s just amazing the amount of STUFF that is accumulated and packed into every nook and cranny. I only just cleared the last boot-load from my car (which is a huge relief because I’ve felt like a travelling gypsy whenever driving up to now). Good luck to you and Trevor – may the force be with you!!

Yes, they were lovely. I’m glad I was there to sample the finished product.
