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.

Tips:

  • Use a box grater to shred the zucchini: This will ensure that the zucchini is evenly shredded and will help the muffins bake evenly.
  • Be sure to squeeze out the excess moisture from the shredded zucchini: This will help prevent the muffins from being too wet.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 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: This will ensure that the muffins are fully baked.
  • Allow the muffins to cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Zucchini raisin muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. With their moist texture, sweet flavor, and crunchy topping, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you have some zucchini on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
