Apricot Walnut Muffins Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE APRICOT-WALNUT MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees, with a rack in the middle. Grease a muffin tin.
• Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar and salt.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and oil until well combined; add to the dry ingredients, using a rubber spatula to mix until the batter is almost fully incorporated. Add the apricots and walnuts and mix until all traces of flour are gone.
• Fill muffin tins 3/4 full. Bake until golden brown, the top is firm to the touch, and a toothpick comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Turn the tin around halfway through. Cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife along the edges of the muffins and unmold. Finish cooling muffins on a rack.
