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

Turn the muffins out onto a rack and let them cool.

OAT BRAN ZUCCHINI MUFFINS



Oat Bran Zucchini Muffins image

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.
