These family-favorite apricot muffins are moist and chewy. I sometimes add 1/2 cup of dates as well as the apricots.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped dried apricots

  • 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

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line with paper liners. Place apricots into a small bowl and pour 1 cup boiling water over top. Let stand for 5 minutes.

  2. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, oil, buttermilk, and egg. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just blended; it's okay for the batter to have some lumps. Drain and discard water from apricots. Mix apricots into batter, then spoon into the prepared muffin cups.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until the top springs back when lightly pressed, about 15 minutes. Cool in the pan over a wire rack.
