3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon allspice
3 large eggs

Instructions
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Grease 1 regular-sized 12-muffin tin.
1. In a large bowl, stir together the flours, salt, baking powder, and
spices.
2. In another bowl, stir together the eggs, pumpkin, vegetable oil, milk,
vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Form a well in the dry ingredients and
pour in the liquid mixture. Add the chopped apricots and walnuts. Stir to
combine. (Do not over-stir. Some lumps are acceptable.)
3. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups. Sprinkle the tops with turbinado
sugar.
4. Quickly place the muffins in the oven and reduce the heat to 375 degrees.
Let bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned and a
toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove to a rack to cool.
After five minutes, remove the muffins from the tins and serve.
