Hi. Great blog. Thank you.
I adore apricots but sadly the fresh ones in the UK aren’t that flavoursome. Can I use dried apricots in the Muffin recipe instead? I also think I would use almond essence as I’m not a great fan of cinnamon.
Hi Ruth,you can try with dried apricot and almond essences.Happy baking!
Where can I find the directions for making these muffins? I see the ingredients but not the directions.
