Buttermilk Apricot Muffins
Ingredients
  • 1 cup chopped dried apricots
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 egg
Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Next, prepare a 12-cup muffin pan either by spraying it with cooking spray or lining it with paper cups. Soak dried apricots in a small bowl by pouring 1 cup of boiling water over them, allowing them to soften for 5 minutes.
2
In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients of flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Then, in a separate container, whisk together the melted butter, oil, buttermilk, and egg until well combined. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; it's perfectly fine if the batter has some lumps. Remove any excess water from the softened apricots and gently fold them into the batter, before filling each muffin cup.

Finally, bake these apricot treats in the preheated oven until they feel firm and spring back when gently pressed with your finger, approximately 15 minutes. Remove them from the oven and let them cool in the muffin pan over a wire rack.
