I made these muffins the other day and was surprised how well they turned out with the lack of butter or oil in the recipe. Here's the recipe, it is inspired by an Everyday Food recipe from the September 2011 issue.
Zucchini, Banana and Oat Bran Muffins
cooking spray (to spray muffin pan)
1 3/4 cups whole grain spelt flour
1/2 cup oat bran
1 cup lightly packed brown sugar
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp.salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups coarsely grated zucchini
1 ripe mashed banana
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup coffee cream
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat muffin pan with cooking spray, either regular or mini muffins. Whisk together flour, oat bran, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add zucchini and banana and stir to combine. Whisk together milk, egg, vanilla and cream. Add milk to vanilla mixture and stir to combine.
Divide batter among muffin cups and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool for 30 minutes in pan on wire rack.
