zucchini-bran-muffinsYes there are ways to use up that never ending summer supply of zucchinis! I like to freeze 2 cup portions of grated zucchini so that making muffins is super easy all winter long. The added zucchini helps make the muffins super moist. This recipe is courtesy of my mother Carol!
