Blackcurrants are in season! These muffins are moist and busting with sour black berries and pine nuts. You might want to add a bit of extra sugar if you are not into too sour desserts. The paprika provides a bit of spice, however, you can choose not to add it if you want a more traditional dessert muffin.

I was skeptical of this recipe as it seems unusual but to my pleasure they are absolutely delicious. Super light and fluffy and they taste so cozy and comforting while still being refreshing enough for the summer. If you like paprika definitely don’t skip out on it! I added an extra 20 grams of sugar and sprinkled brown sugar on top to help cut the sourness and for a slight crust on top. Highly recommended!
I’m glad that you were pleasantly surprised! 🙂 So nice to hear that it caused a positive experience. Sounds delicious with the brown sugar!
