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:
- Use fresh zucchini: Fresh zucchini has a higher water content than older zucchini, which will help to keep your muffins moist. If you don't have fresh zucchini on hand, you can use frozen zucchini that has been thawed and drained.
- Grate the zucchini finely: This will help to distribute the zucchini evenly throughout the muffins and prevent them from becoming too watery.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust and a moist interior.
- Let the muffins cool before serving: This will help them to set and hold their shape.
