Servings: 12
Ingredients
- Cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
- Rolled oats (1/2 cup)
- Brown sugar (1/4 cup)
- Apricot slices (1 cup, fresh or canned)
- Apricot preserves (1/2 cup)
- Egg (1 large)
- Milk (1 cup)
- Unsalted butter (1/2 cup, melted)
- Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
- Baking powder (2 teaspoons)
- Granulated sugar (1/2 cup)
- All-purpose flour (2 cups)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and egg.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Gently fold in the apricot preserves and apricot slices to evenly distribute them in the batter.
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, rolled oats, and cinnamon. This will serve as your crisp topping.
- Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with batter.
- Sprinkle the prepared crisp topping evenly over the batter in each muffin cup.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
