These muffins are the perfect way to use up leftover apricots. I had a few apricots that were starting to go bad, and these muffins were the perfect way to use them up.

I love that these muffins are made with whole wheat flour and honey. They're a healthier alternative to traditional muffins, but they're just as delicious.
