Nutritional values

These sweet apricot buns contain various polyunsaturated fatty acids as well as plenty of beta-carotene. 

For more variation try adding 3-4 ounces of raisins or 1.5 ounces of chocolate chips to the recipe. If you want it to be savory, leave out the honey and knead in finely chopped dried tomatoes and some pizza spice.
