Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 24 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.

APRICOT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 12 cup muffin pan, or line with paper muffin cups. Place apricots into a small bowl, and pour the boiling water over them. Let stand for 5 minutes.
• 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.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top springs back when lightly pressed. Cool in the pan over a wire rack.

NUTTY APRICOT MUFFINS

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.

HEALTHY APRICOT WALNUT MUFFINS

Steps:

• In large bowl mix together flour, oatmeal, wheat germ, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and mix all well together.
• Add eggs, buttermilk, mix in flour mixture. Next add melted butter and mix well. Line muffin pan with liners or spray with nonstick spray. Divide muffin batter evenly between 12 muffin liners. Top each muffin with chopped walnuts and lightly sprinkle with additional cinnamon and granulated sugar over each.
• Bake muffins in 375 degrees preheated oven for 20 minutes. Test muffins for doneness with a toothpick, set toothpick in middle of muffin and if the tooth pick comes out clean the muffins are done, otherwise bake a couple additional minutes and test again.

WHOLE WHEAT APPLE CIDER BRAN MINI MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray two 24-cup mini muffin tins with cooking spray.
• Place bran cereal in the bowl of a food processor; process until ground to a flour-like consistency. Transfer to a large bowl. Add flour, apple, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt; toss to combine.
• Mix together apple cider, applesauce, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Add flour mixture to the apple cider mixture and gently mix until combined; batter will appear runny. Allow to rest while baking soda and apple cider cause batter to thicken and double in size, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Scoop a small amount of batter into the prepared muffin cups.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool before eating.

WHOLE WHEAT CARROT CHOCOLATE CHIP MINI MUFFINS

• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
• In a small bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the carrot, milk, butter, and vanilla.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined. Add the 1/3 cup chocolate chips and stir to incorporate.
• Divide the batter between muffin tins - about 1 1/2 tablespoons each (I use a cookie scoop).
• Sprinkle the tops with additional mini chocolate chips.
• Bake for about 8-9 minutes, until muffins are no longer jiggly and a toothpick inserted into the center of one comes out clean.
• Let cool for about 5 minutes in their tins, then carefully remove and place onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• These muffins keep 2 - 3 days at room temperature in an airtight container, or freeze.
