Tips:
- Use ripe apricots to ensure a sweet and juicy flavor in your muffins.
- If you don't have fresh apricots, you can use dried apricots. Just be sure to rehydrate them in hot water for about 15 minutes before using.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- If you want your muffins to be extra moist, add a tablespoon of sour cream or yogurt to the batter.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will help prevent the muffins from overflowing.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
