I was thinking of making a zucchini bread when I thought it would be more fun to make muffins instead. I made these a little healthier by adding bran and whole wheat flour.
This recipe was developed for Babble.com.
Yield: Serves 4
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup white flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup vanilla yogurt
1 egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup grated zucchini (1 medium)
1 cup bran
1 cup boiling water
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Boil water. Add boiling water to bran. Mix well and set aside. Sift together wheat flour, white flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In another bowl add egg, sugar and oil. Whisk well. Add yogurt, zucchini, bran soaked in water and nutmeg. Mix well.
2. Add flour mixture to zucchini mixture and mix until just combined. Spoon into muffin cups and bake at 350 for 25 – 30 minutes, or until they pass the toothpick test.
Makes 18 – 20 muffins
