Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup chopped dried apricots
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 0.25 cup melted butter

Recipe Instructions

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.
