Ingredients
  • 180 ml (3/4 cup) quick cooking rolled oats 

  • 75 ml (1/3 cup) wheat germ 

  • 430 ml (1 3/4 cups) unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 180 ml (3/4 cup) brown sugar 

  • 7.5 ml (1 1/2 teaspoons) baking powder
  • 10 ml (2 teaspoons) ground cinnamon
  • 250 ml (1 cup) dried apricots, diced
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 125 ml (1/2 cup) vegetable oil
  • 180 ml (3/4 cup) buttermilk 

  • 180 ml (3/4 cup) unsweetened applesauce



Preparation
1.
With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F). Line 12 muffin tins with paper cups or oil thoroughly.
2.
In a food processor, grind the rolled oats into powder. Place into a large bowl with all the dry ingredients and apricots.
3.
In another bowl, combine the eggs, oil, buttermilk, and applesauce with a whisk. Pour over the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until the flour is just moistened.
4.
Spoon the batter into the cups. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of a muffin comes out clean. Unmould and cool on rack. 



Tips

Flour
You can substitute 125 ml (1/2 cup) of the flour for 125 ml (1/2 cup) of ground flaxseed.

Change the flavour!
Substitute the apricots for dried cranberries, raisins, dried cherries, or mixed dried fruit.
