Directions

1. Preheat oven temperature on 400 degrees.
2. Prepare a muffin tin by spraying with a non- stick cooking spray or line each cup with a paper muffin cup
3. In a large bowl sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and the salt together. If ingredients do not mix together well during sifting, toss back and forth between two bowls until mixed thoroughly. Set aside.
4. In a small mixing bowl, pour the oil and egg whites. Whisk together until just blended.
5. Pour the milk into the egg mixture and whisk until all the ingredients are mixed together well.
6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a rubber spatula just until all the dry ingredients are moistened.
7. Fill each muffin cup 1/2 full with the prepared batter.
8. Place a spoon full of apricot preserves gently on each half-full muffin cup.
9. Then continue to fill each muffin cup with batter to fill each cup to 3/4 full.
10. Bake 20 - 22 minutes or until a nice golden brown on top. (Don't use the toothpick test. It will not come out dry because of the preserves.)

Story

Okay. Let's face it. This one is just plain yummy. You can, of course, replace the apricot preserves with any others you might like (strawberry, raspberry, etc.). But the apricot is sort of tangy and makes a nice surprise because it is unexpected. You could also top it with a sweet cream cheese type frosting to turn it into a sort of cupcake for the kids.
