Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, melted butter, Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold the mixture together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the chopped dried apricots and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few crumbs (melty chocolate is fine).
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
