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.
