How to Make White Chocolate Apricot Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup white chocolate chips.
  3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1 large egg.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with batter.
  7. Add 1 teaspoon of apricot preserves to the center of each muffin.
  8. Top with the remaining batter, ensuring the preserves are mostly covered.
  9. Sprinkle the tops with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.
  10. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
