Blackccurrant muffin

I received this recipe on blackcurrant muffins in the weekly newsletter from "Sæson for god smag", which fitted perfect with the fact, that I had just being pickíng blackcurrants. I decided to make the muffins following the exact recipe without making any modification at all.

I find the muffin dough to be pretty standard without being inspiring at all. And in my opinion it is only the addition of the relative big amount of blackcurrant, which actual makes this muffin interesting at all, as the blackcurrant brings freshness and taste to the muffin. The relative big amount of sugar is needed in order to compensate for the freshness/sourness of the blackcurrant. If you would use a more sweet fruit, I would reduce the amount of added sugar with 50-75 g.
