Time 30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup chopped dried apricots
1 cup boiling water
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup melted butter
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg

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.

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:

  • 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.
