Apricot Muffins

   In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the applesauce, buttermilk and oil. Pour over the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until the flour is just moistened. Divide the batter among the muffin cups.

   Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of a muffin comes out clean. Unmould and cool on rack.
