Ingredients
1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini1/2 cup packed brown sugar1 egg1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce1 cup whole wheat flour1/2 cup quick cooking oats (not the packets of instant - plain quick oats)1/2 tsp salt1/2 tsp baking soda1/4 tsp baking powder1 tsp ground cinnamonzest of one lemon
Directions
Note: Shred your zucchini in your food processor. Much quicker, easier, and less messy than doing it by hand.

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray muffin pan with cooking spray, or line with muffin cups.
2. Stir together wet ingredients in one bowl and dry ingredients in another. Slowly combine the two. Pour into prepared muffin pan.
3. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool about 10 minutes before removing from pan.

These are a great basic recipe - you could add diced apples, raisins, chocolate chips... use your imagination!

    This is such a wonderful recipe! Super moist and great with zucchini. I also made it with a raspberries instead of the zucchini and it added a sweet and tart new twist. Loved it! I'm looking forward to trying it with apples and blueberries. - 7/9/12
