Zucchini Spice Muffins

These muffins are great, a cross between a spice muffin and zucchini bread. I altered a recipe I found on allrecipes.com and they came out really great! For those on Weight Watchers they are only 2 points.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1/3 cup boiling water
  • 2 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground all spice
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 1/3 cup applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 12 cup and a 6 cup muffin pan.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together zucchini and boiling water.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, and nutmeg.
  4. Blend eggs, applesauce, and vanilla extract with the zucchini. Stir the zucchini mixture into the flour mixture. Spoon into the prepared muffin pans.
  5. Bake 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
