In medium bowl, mix flour, 1/2 cup oats, the baking powder and salt. In small bowl, mix brown sugar, milk, oil, vanilla and egg with fork or wire whisk until blended. Stir milk mixture into flour mixture just until flour is moistened. Fold in apricots. Divide evenly among muffin cups. Sprinkle each with about 1/2 teaspoon oats.

Expert Tips

To avoid soggy muffins, take them out of the pan immediately after removing them from the oven.
Use an ice cream scoop, if you have one, to add batter to the muffin cups.
