Almond Apricot Muffins

This is an easy vegan almond apricot muffins recipe with cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, quick oats and more. I like that it uses dried fruit, because it transcends seasonality. You can enjoy them any time 💚

This recipe makes ~12 muffins.

A few things…

・The type of vegan milk didn’t seem to impact the apricot muffins all that much. I tried almond, soy and flax milk, and they all worked great.

・No almond extract? Try vanilla extract. It will taste different, but it’s probably still good. You tell me!

・You are welcome to reduce the turbinado sugar to ½ cup, if you prefer less sweetener. During testing, I gave it a try and it was successful, just not as sweet.
