Healthy Apricot Walnut Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine apricots and water. Let stand 5 minutes. Drain well and set aside. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add sour cream and mix well. Combine dry ingredients and add to butter mixture. Mix on low only until combined. Fold in orange peel, nuts and apricots. Batter will be very stiff. Spoon into well-greased muffin tins, filling each cup almost to the top. Bake at 400° for 18-20 minutes or until done. Combine sugar and orange juice; dip tops of warm muffins in mixture.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees, with a rack in the middle. Grease a muffin tin.
• Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar and salt.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and oil until well combined; add to the dry ingredients, using a rubber spatula to mix until the batter is almost fully incorporated. Add the apricots and walnuts and mix until all traces of flour are gone.
• Fill muffin tins 3/4 full. Bake until golden brown, the top is firm to the touch, and a toothpick comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Turn the tin around halfway through. Cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife along the edges of the muffins and unmold. Finish cooling muffins on a rack.

• 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.
