- 1tsp vanilla extract
- 200g (7oz) self-raising flour

Fold in the Greek yogurt, chocolate and half the redcurrants.
Spoon the mixture into a muffin tin lined with paper cases. Bake in two batches if you have only one tray. Bake for 30-35 mins at 180°C (350°F, gas mark 4) until golden and firm to touch.
While still warm, brush melted redcurrant jelly over the top of each muffin and decorate with the rest of the redcurrants. Dust with icing sugar. Eat within two days of baking.
