Tips:

  • Prep Fruit Properly: Before adding apricots and oranges to the batter, ensure they are diced into small, uniform pieces. This will distribute the fruit evenly throughout the muffins and prevent large chunks from overwhelming the batter.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no more. This will create a light and fluffy texture.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh apricots and oranges will yield the best flavor and texture in your muffins. If fresh fruit is unavailable, frozen or dried fruit can be substituted, but be sure to adjust the liquid content of the batter accordingly.
  • Fill Muffin Tins Properly: To achieve evenly baked muffins, fill each muffin tin about 2/3 full. Overfilling can cause the muffins to rise too much and overflow, while underfilling can result in flat, dense muffins.
  • Don't Overbake: Overbaking can dry out the muffins, making them tough and crumbly. Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, but not dry. Overbaking can result in dry and crumbly muffins.
