Everything Zucchini Bran Muffins

By Amee Livingston 2 Comments

These Everything Zucchini Bran Muffins are adapted from a recipe from Savory Sweet Life.  I used zucchini for half the carrots in this recipe.  These muffins are delicious and healthy.  You can also sprinkle a little raw sugar on top of the muffin before they go in the oven for a nice, sweet crunch.

A baker’s tip: if you cannot eat the muffins right away, wrap cooled muffins in plastic wrap and place in a freezer ziploc bag.  Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or pop into the microwave for a quick thaw.  This way, you always have homemade muffins and breads on hand and homemade muffins make people smile.
