  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup - pure, real maple)

  • 1 large egg

Equipment

  • oven
  • 1 6 cup jumbo muffin tin (or 12 cup standard)

  2. In large mixing bowl combine bran, flours, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the currants, milk, syrup, oil, and egg.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just moistened (the batter will be lumpy).
  4. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups and bake for 15-20 minutes (or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean).
  5. Allow muffins to cool for 10-15 minutes before from the muffin pan.
