Bake 15-17 minutes.

Tips:

For optimal flavor and texture, use ripe apricots. If fresh apricots are unavailable, you can substitute dried apricots, but be sure to rehydrate them before using.
If you don't have almond milk, you can use regular milk or even water. However, almond milk will give your muffins a slightly sweeter and richer flavor.
Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
Fill muffin cups only 2/3 full to prevent overflow.
To test if the muffins are done, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are done.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
