Mini Whole Wheat Apricot Muffins



Muffins for my muffin!  I made these muffins for T, since muffin is one of his nicknames; also, I am looking for more breakfast/snack options for the kid.  They are from a Cooking Light First Foods cookbook.  I really liked these and T does too.  They freeze well too.

~ 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
~ 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 tsp grated orange rind
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 large egg white
1/2 cup finely chopped dried apricots (soak for 10 min before chopping)

1) Preheat oven to 375.
2) Combine flours, sugar and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl; make a well in center of mixture. 
3) Combine buttermilk, and next 3 ingredients in a bowl stir with a whisk.  Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture; stir just until moist.  Fold in apricots.  Spoon batter into 24 mini muffin cups coated with cooking spray.  Bake at 375 for 10 minutes or until muffins spring back when touched lightly in center.  Remove from pans immediately; cool on wire rack.
