Almond Apricot Muffins

SWEET + SPICE + EVERYTHING NICE!

A different kind of fall-flavored treat! These almond apricot muffins are absolutely perfect for warming up your kitchen! I’m all about baked goods, especially this time of year. My husband - not so much. How did I know I HAD to share this recipe? The hubby went back for seconds (score!).

These muffins are just a little sweet, have a little spice, and are oh so wonderfully nice on these cold morning we’ve been having in Colorado. Keeping it dense where it counts - nutrient-wise - but are otherwise fluffy and light. Whether you need a quick recipe to whip up and pack for a breakfast on the go, want the perfect pairing for your cup of joe, or want a healthy pre-holiday bite - these are 100% for you! RD created and husband approved, so you know it’s going to be good.
