ZUCCHINI MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners.
• Whisk together the all-purpose and whole-wheat flours with the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl. Beat the butter, sugar, yogurt, eggs and vanilla together in another large bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Reduce the speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until combined. Stir in the zucchini and raisins. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cups.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the muffins comes out clean, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool the muffins in the pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes; remove from the pans and cool completely on the rack.

STUFFED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out pulp, leaving about ¼-in shells. Reserve ½ cup of Pasta Sauce and pour remainder into bottom of two 13x9 baking dishes. Place zucchini shells in baking dishes.
• 2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook hash browns for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring two to three times.
• 3. Meanwhile, in another large skillet over medium heat, cook beef for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently to form small crumbles. Add onion, pepper and garlic, and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove from heat and drain if needed. Stir in cooked Hash Browns, seasoning, reserved ½ cup of Pasta Sauce and 2 cups of cheese. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
• 4. Spoon about ½ cup of meat mixture into each zucchini shell. Pour about ½ cup of hot water into bottom of each baking dish and cover with foil. Bake covered for 30 minutes.
• 5. Carefully remove foil and sprinkle remaining ½ cup of cheese on top. Bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until zucchini is tender. Serve with additional Pasta Sauce if desired.

ZUKE MUFFINS

Steps:

• 1.) Preheat oven to 350. Spray/line muffin pan.
• 2.) Beat eggs until light any foamy, about 3 minutes.
• 3.) Add sugars, oil/yogurt, and zukes. I didn't dry off the veggies, and everything turned out fine. Combine with a spatula.
• 4.) Add dry ingredients, continue to combine with your spatula until completely incorporated.
• 5.) Bake for 20 minutes. I used a cookie scoop to portion the muffins, two scoops should fill the individual spaces. Also, instead of making more muffins, I put the remainder of the dough into an 8" square pan-to take to work tomorrow. Do not over bake.
