Yield Makes 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 15

2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup whole-wheat flour
2/3 cup miller's bran (available at natural foods stores, specialty foods shops, and some supermarkets)
2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 cups coarsely grated zucchini

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a bowl whisk together the flours, the bran, the baking powder, the salt, the cinnamon, and the cloves. In a large bowl with an electric mixer cream the butter with the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and beat in the vanilla. Beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture, beat in the milk, and stir in the raisins, the walnuts, and the zucchini. Divide the batter among 12 well-buttered or paper-lined 1/2-cup muffin tins and bake the muffins in the middle of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Turn the muffins out onto a rack and let them cool.

OAT BRAN ZUCCHINI MUFFINS

These are moist, but not heavy. They are very easy. I use the food processor to chop the zucchini and measure the oil before the molasses so that the molasses just slides right out. I developed this recipe to get my quota of Oat Bran and use my zucchini.

Tips for Making the Best Zucchini Bran Muffins:

- **Choose fresh, small zucchini:** This will ensure the muffins are moist and flavorful. - **Grate the zucchini finely:** This will help it blend seamlessly into the batter. - **Use ripe bananas:** These will add natural sweetness and moisture to the muffins. - **Don't overmix the batter:** Overmixing can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - **Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full:** This will allow the muffins to rise properly without overflowing. - **Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short period of time:** This will help the muffins develop a tender crumb and golden-brown crust.

Zucchini bran muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are packed with nutrients, including fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They are also low in calories and fat. So, if you are looking for a healthy and satisfying breakfast or snack, zucchini bran muffins are a great option.
