Good to Go: Harvest Zucchini Muffins

I was the happy recipient of a ginormous zucchini from friends who live on a farm the long, sunny summer produced some of the biggest zucchinis ever big enough that my 7 year old struggled to carry them. And while I love zucchini, once you cut into a monstrous one theres no going back it must be used, and wont keep as well as it does intact. Fortunately you can freeze grated zucchini to toss into muffins, loaves, pancakes and the like at this rate well be set for zucchini muffins all winter long. Check out the size of this thing!

If it were to lie flat, it might measure close to 2 feet. Whether you find yourself with a surplus of huge zucchini or are taking advantage of the good deals youll see at markets at this time of year, zucchini adds moisture to muffins, cakes and quick breads, and even pancakes and waffles, while providing a nutritional boost.

Grate it on the coarse side of your box grater, without peeling it most of the nutrients are in the skin, which is thin enough (unlike winter squash) to bake right along with the rest of it.

Muffin batter can be baked as a loaf, and vice versa to make a loaf, bake the batter in a greased loaf pan for 50 minutes, or until golden and springy to the touch.

Zucchini Walnut Muffins
