These muffins are a very fruity blend of delicious, fresh blueberries, frozen cranberries and dried apricots. Buying a quick muffin as a snack is almost guaranteed to include lots of sugar and little fiber, but all of the fruit and whole wheat pastry flour in these little muffins will do your body good. These are best eaten the same day, or else wrap them carefully for the next day.
