BRAN-CURRANT MUFFINS
These are moist and flavorful, just pleasantly sweet. The recipe makes quite a lot of muffins, but the batter will keep in the fridge for up to 6 weeks. From the back of a box of Sun-Maid Zante Currants. I'm sure raisins or other dried fruits would work as well, but the currants are delightful.
