These apricot muffins are my go to when I want something wholesome and delicious without spending hours in the kitchen. The dried apricots plump up beautifully in hot water, creating moist, flavorful muffins that come together in just thirty minutes from start to finish. Apricots are packed with fiber and vitamins, making these treats feel a little less guilty.

Whether you're baking for breakfast or an afternoon snack, these muffins deliver genuine comfort in every bite.

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.
