Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup butter room temperature
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar or 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup yogurt plain
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups plain flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots 100 grams
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp oats optional topping; use quick-cooking or old-fashioned

Instructions
 

Preparation:

  • Let the butter soften at room temperature.
  • Chop the dried apricots into small pieces. Soak the dried apricot pieces in lukewarm water for 15 minutes.
  • Fill your muffin tin with paper liners.

Recipe:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
  • In a mixing bowl beat together the sugar and softened butter. Beat with an electric hand mixer and use the low to medium speed to get a light fluffy mixture.
  • Add in the vanilla extract (or almond extract) and the yogurt. Beat again for about 3 minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Then gently stir in the chopped apricot (after straining out the water).
  • Add the 1/4 cup of warm water gradually, using a soft spatula to fold the ingredients together, combing well. Your muffin batter will be thick and sticky.
  • Fill 3/4ths of each muffin cup with the batter. Sprinkle each with oats, if desired.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 mins, or until light golden brown.
