SCD Simple Apricot Muffins

Hello! It's been a while. I had been cooking a lot of repeats and mediocre experiments, but finally ventured out and tried something new, with success. :) Alex gave it an 8/10. The recipe yielded 7 muffins for me, but could probably be 6 if I had filled each tin a little more.

Ingredients:
2 cups almond flour
1/3-1/2 cup  honey (I like 'em sweet and use 1/2 cup)
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
.5 tsp baking soda
.5 tsp salt
1/3 cup finely chopped dried apricots (We bought ours at TJ's, which lists apricots as the only ingredient. Obviously make sure they don't have any added sugar or starches.)

Directions:
Mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the eggs, vanilla, and honey and stir well. Add about 1/2 of the chopped apricot into the batter and stir until incorporated. Pour them into a muffin tin, not quite full (see the picture). Add the remaining apricot pieces on top of each muffin. Bake at 300 for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
