ZUCCHINI NUT MUFFINS
This is my favorite muffin recipe. They come out so moist and delicious. My garden was over-run with zucchini so I made these muffins, froze them and had them through out the year. They freeze very well.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, combine both types of flour, Splenda, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix together the zucchini, egg substitute, applesauce, butter, and vanilla extract. Slowly add this mixture to the first bowl, and stir until thoroughly blended. Mix half the crushed walnuts (1 1/2 tbsp.) into the batter.
- Line 9 cups of a 12-cup muffin pan with baking liners and/or spray with nonstick spray. Evenly distribute batter among the 9 cups. Top each cup with a sprinkling of the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons crushed walnuts.
- Bake in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes, until a toothpick poked into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let cool and then enjoy!
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh zucchini. Grating the zucchini will help it release its moisture and make the muffins moist and fluffy.
- Be sure to drain the zucchini well before adding it to the batter. This will help prevent the muffins from being too wet.
- Use a light hand when mixing the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly in the oven.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake, or the muffins will be dry.
Conclusion: These zucchini nut muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are moist, fluffy, and full of flavor. Plus, they are packed with nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and minerals. So next time you have a zucchini on hand, be sure to try this recipe.
