Zucchini Spice Muffins

The shredding disc makes these muffins a breeze to make.

Makes 6 large muffins

nonstick cooking spray

½

cup toasted, cooked walnuts

1

medium zucchini (about 8 ounces), trimmed and cut to fit the
feed tube of the work bowl

½

cup packed light or dark brown sugar

1

large egg, lightly beaten

¾

cup unbleached, all-purpose flour

¼

teaspoon baking soda

¼

teaspoon baking powder

1

teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼

teaspoon ground cloves

¼

teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼

teaspoon ground ginger

½

teaspoon table salt

1

3

cup vegetable oil

¾

teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly coat a 6-cup regular muffin pan with

nonstick cooking spray; reserve.

2. Insert the chopping blade into the work bowl. Add the toasted nuts

and pulse until chopped. Remove and reserve.

3. Replace the chopping blade with the shredding disc. Shred the

zucchini, and then remove to squeeze as much of the liquid out of

it as possible (you should end up with about 2 cups of shredded

zucchini). Reserve in a large mixing bowl.
