In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients, except the currents. Add to the dry ingredients, and fold until just combined. Fold in the currents. Scoop 1/4 cup of the mixture into each muffin cup.

Bake on the center rack of the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean.
