Red Currant Muffins image

I picked lots of fresh red currants and then wondered what to do with them! I found this on tasteofhome.com but made some slight alterations. I can't stand orange peel so used a few drops of orange flower water instead. I also used self raising flour but, as they didn't rise a huge amount, I suggest you stick to plain flour and baking powder!

I added a teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter and it gave the muffins a wonderful warm flavor.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted chopped dried apricots for the walnuts. The muffins were still delicious!

I think this recipe has too many ingredients. It would be easier if there were fewer steps.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my muffins were dry and crumbly.

These muffins are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.
