White Chocolate Apricot Muffins

"I got this recipe from a magazine that specializes in low fat cooking. I was surprised when the recipe produced moist bakery style muffins whose flavors balanced perfectly. The white chocolate provides a nice sweet taste and the apricot preserves keep the muffin from tasting too sweet. From the outside they appear as ordinary muffins, but once you bite into them, you'll find a bit"

  1. Delicious muffin.Good texture and not too sweet but sweet enough.The sugar sprinkled on top made for a pretty looking muffin top,with a bit of a sugary crust,and the hidden apricot jam was a nice surprise as you bit into the muffin.I will definitely make these again.
     
  2. A fabulous muffin recipie indeed! I followed the recipe as directed, except(!) I did add a little more milk to the batter because it did look a little too dry. I used my own "dried apripot jam" recipie as the filling. We had them warm with fresh cream as dessert, the remainder were taken for school lunches. Yummy! It won't be long before these are made in the Kelly houshold again.
     
  3. Made this for a gift--extremely sweet--plenty , maybe too much white chocolate taste for us. Must be the kind of white chocolate used. Really an easy and quick recipe to put together though.
     
  4. This muffins were very easy to make. I mixed the preserves in with the batter rather than putting a scoop in the center and it seemed to work out fine. The chocolate taste is very subtle, so if you want it to be stronger, increase the amount of chocolate you use.

I?m ?originally from Texas, but now live in Florida. Still gotta have that spice though....love chipotle peppers, habaneros, and jalapenos. This is a picture of myself & my 2 daughters taken in Dec'06. I am working on my graduate degree, & still work as a nurse prn. When I'm not cooking and eating what I cook... I head for the gym to work out. As far as cookbooks, I love the church/ community cookbooks, where someone has dug out old handwritten recipes by granny and shared them with others-those are the best kind. If I had a month off, I'd for sure go hiking, would love to visit Australia and New Zealand.?
