Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these muffins vegan?
Yes, you can easily make these muffins vegan by replacing the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water) and using a plant-based milk. This will keep the muffins moist while accommodating a vegan diet.
What can I do if I don't have currants?
If you don't have currants, you can substitute them with raisins, dried cranberries, or chopped dried apricots. Each of these options will add a nice sweetness and texture to the muffins, so feel free to experiment with your favorite dried fruits.
How can I make these muffins sweeter?
To make these muffins sweeter, consider adding a tablespoon or two of honey, maple syrup, or brown sugar to the batter. You could also mix in a banana or applesauce for natural sweetness, which will enhance the flavor without adding extra fat.
