Use Ripe Apricots: Choose ripe and flavorful apricots for a sweeter and more pronounced taste in your muffins.
Soak Apricots if Needed: If using dried apricots, soak them in hot water for about 10 minutes to soften them. Drain and pat dry before using.
Use Fresh or Quick-Cooking Oats: Opt for fresh or quick-cooking oats for a finer texture in your muffins. They will absorb moisture quickly and provide a tender crumb.
Don't Overmix the Batter: Mix the batter until just combined. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
Fill Muffin Cups Properly: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full to allow room for expansion during baking.
Bake at the Right Temperature: Preheat your oven to the specified temperature and bake the muffins accordingly. Baking at the correct temperature ensures proper cooking and prevents undercooked or overcooked muffins.
