Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12 cup muffin pan, or line with paper muffin cups. Place apricots into a small bowl, and pour the boiling water over them. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl stir together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, oil, buttermilk and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until just blended. It is okay for the batter to have some lumps. Drain water from apricots, and mix them into the batter. Spoon into the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top springs back when lightly pressed. Cool in the pan over a wire rack.

DOUBLE-CHOCOLATE MUFFINS
For a better-for-you treat, try these extra-chocolatey muffins. Avocado stands in for some of the oil in the recipe, providing healthy fat and a super-tender crumb. Whole-wheat flour brings extra fiber and makes them more filling.

Tips:
- Use ripe apricots. This will give your muffins the best flavor. If you don't have ripe apricots, you can use canned apricots, just be sure to drain them well.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your muffins tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent them from breaking.
