Tiptree Muffins

Preheat oven to 400° F. Line 12 small or 9 medium muffin tins with paper baking cups. 

 

Combine beaten egg, milk, oil, and bran in a medium bowl. Let stand 15 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar and orange zest. Add this to bran mixture. Combine gently only until dry ingredients are moistened. Fill baking cups halfway with mixture. Add a teaspoon of Tiptree Apricot Preserve to each one. Cover with remaining mixture. Bake 20-30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
