Red Current Oatmeal Muffins

With the berry season nearing we are frantically trying to use up all of last year's berries from the freezer before we start picking this year's crop.  Judging by how the bushes look this year, I think there will be lots.  We still have lots of red currents in the freezer so I have decided to focus on finding recipes to use them in.
I have always loved muffins and with two young kids I have come to love them more.  They are so easy to eat while you are busy and my little ones like them too.
This recipe is very easy to make and the end result is delicious.

Red Current Oatmeal Muffins

1 1/4 cup quick oats
1 cup flour
1/3 sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup red currents
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 and either grease the muffin tins or put in paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients together.  Make sure they are well mixed before making a well in the middle of the ingredients.
  3. Whisk together the milk, egg and oil.
  4. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined.  Fold in the currents.
  5. Fill. the muffin tins 2/3 of the way full and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
