Zucchini Bran Muffins
I came up with this recipe while trying to find a way to make a healthier version of zucchini bread in the more convenient format of muffins. These also freeze extremely well.
4 1/2 cups bran flakes
2 cups milk
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 to 2/3 cups oil (less oil needed when using more zucchini)
1 1/2 cups sugar (I used only 1 cup)
1 1/2 to 2 cups shredded zucchini (with or without peels)
2 1/2 cups flour
2 1/2 tsp. Baking soda
1/2 tsp. Salt
3 tsp. Cinnamon
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts
Pour milk on top of bran flakes to soften. Add eggs, oil and sugar and mix. Add zucchini. Sift or combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add cinnamon. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Add chips and nuts if desired. Place in lined muffin cups. Bake 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees.
