Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line two standard muffins tins with paper liners. In a mixing bowl, beat butter, eggs, honey and brown sugar until completely incorporated. About 3 minutes. Add vanilla and beat 1 minute more.
  2. In a separate bowl whisk together sorghum flour, brown rice flour, potato starch, coconut flour, xanthan gum, flaxseed meal, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add half of mixture to honey mixture and mix until combined. Add milk and mix until combined. Add last half of flour mixture and mix until combined.
  3. Add applesauce to mixture and beat until combined. Beat for 3 minutes more, scraping sides occasionally.
  4. Fold in dried apricots and ½ cup chopped pecans.
  5. Fill muffin tins ⅔ way full with batter. Using remaining chopped pecans to sprinkle on top. Drizzle honey over tops of each muffin.
  6. Bake muffins at 325 degrees for 23-25 minutes or until springy to touch and toothpick inserted comes out clean, rotating pan after 20 minutes.*
  7. Let cool for 5 minutes in pan and transfer to cooling rack to continue cooling.
Notes
*Muffins will be slightly sticky from honey on top, but do not mistake that for them not being fully cooked. They should still spring to touch.
