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 combination of flours: This recipe uses a combination of all-purpose flour and wheat bran. The wheat bran adds fiber and a nutty flavor to the muffins. If you don't have wheat bran, you can substitute it with more all-purpose flour.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use fresh zucchini: Fresh zucchini has the best flavor and texture. If you're using frozen zucchini, be sure to thaw it and squeeze out any excess moisture before adding it to the batter.
  • Add your favorite spices: This recipe calls for cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. You can also add other spices that you like, such as ginger, cardamom, or allspice.
  • Don't overbake the muffins: Overbaking the muffins can make them dry. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

These Zucchini Spice Bran Muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They're full of flavor and nutrients, and they're easy to make. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast or snack, give these muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
