Low Fat Apricot Muffins image

These are low in calories, low in fat but NOT low in taste. You could use 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots instead of pecans or 1/4 cup of each. I eat mine warm and sprayed with Fat Free Parkay Butter Spray.

These muffins were a bit too dense for my taste, but they were still very flavorful. I would recommend using a lighter flour, such as cake flour.

I made these muffins with gluten-free flour and they turned out great! They were just as moist and fluffy as the regular muffins.

I'm not a fan of raisins, so I omitted them from the recipe. The muffins were still very good, but I think they would have been even better with raisins.

These muffins were a bit dry for my taste, but they were still very flavorful. I would recommend adding a bit more moisture to the batter, such as milk or yogurt.

I added a streusel topping to these muffins and they were amazing! The streusel added a nice crunch and sweetness to the muffins.

I made these muffins in a mini muffin tin and they were perfect! They were the perfect size for a quick snack or breakfast on the go.

I didn't have any apricots on hand, so I used peaches instead. The muffins turned out great! The peaches added a nice sweetness and flavor to the muffins.

These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe by about 1/4 cup.

I've made these muffins several times now and they always turn out perfect. They're a great way to use up leftover apricots, and they're always a hit with my friends and family.

I'm on a low-fat diet and these muffins were a great way to satisfy my sweet tooth without feeling guilty. They were delicious and filling, and they didn't make me feel bloated or sluggish.

I made these muffins with my kids and they had a lot of fun helping me. They were so excited to eat them when they were done, and they loved the taste.

These muffins were so easy to make! I had them in the oven in less than 30 minutes. They were also very affordable to make, which is always a plus.

I'm not a huge fan of apricots, but these muffins were amazing! The sweetness of the apricots was balanced perfectly by the tartness of the lemon juice. I will definitely be making these again.
