- For a sweeter muffin, use ripe apricots. If your apricots are tart, you may want to add an extra tablespoon of sugar to the batter.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- To make sure your muffins are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done.
- These muffins are best served warm, but they can also be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months.
