Ingredients

1 c. boiling water
1 1/2 c. (approximately 1/2 lb.) dried apricots, cut in small pieces
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder

Preparation

In a bowl, pour the boiling water over the dried apricot pieces.
Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, sift together the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Stir the eggs, oil and orange juice into the liquid apricot mixture.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the liquid apricot mixture, stirring enough to moisten (do not overmix). Spray two 12-muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray or line with muffin cups.
Fill each 2/3 full with batter.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in a 375\u00b0 oven.
