The first batch I made was rather bland, but good as a dinner bread. The next batch was better. I doubled the amount of honey and substituted applesauce for the oil. Also good with walnuts!

I also changed a few things and my family loved them. I used almost twice the zucchini, used a whole egg instead of egg whites, and used vanilla soy milk instead of fat free milk. I added chopped walnuts, which really helped the texture of the muffin. A sprinkle of oats on top before baking made them pretttier to look at, too.

Some people liked these, but I found them very blah - they need something to really pick up the flavor. I wouldn't recommend this recipe just to get a lower fat version - just modify some others to make them lower in fat and calories. The only way I could eat them is with a lot of honey or almond butter. Kids would hate these.

This is the exact same recipe as "Apple Muffins," also found on this site, except these have zucchini instead of apples. However, the recipe has the same problems. I would recommend using a whole egg instead of two egg whites, and substituting 1/2 c. white sugar for the 1/4 c. honey. The increase in fat/calories is minimal, and worth it for the better taste.

These muffins were ok...nothing spectacular though. I did change quite a few things as follows: I substituted 1 cup of white flour for 1 cup of whole wheat, I added about 1 tsp fresh nutmeg, I used 1% milk instead of non-fat, I used 1 whole egg instead of 2 egg whites, instead of the vegetable oil, I used 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce. As well, instead of using honey, I used splenda and increased it to 1/2 cup and also increased the zucchini to 1.5 cups. Lastly, I added about 3/4 cup chopped walnuts for a little crunch. So all in all, the muffins were a good/healthy alternative, but they still lacked something in my opinion.

I also found this to be not too sweet. kinda blah is a good way to put it. Not at all like zucc. bread. However, I liked them. I served them like a bread during dinner - not like a dessert bread or breakfast muffin. They are pretty low in "points" for any weight watchers out there too.(3). I think raisins may help.

I made changes to the recipe,I followed some of the advice from the others. I added 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg,used 1/4 cup of cinnamon applesauce and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. I also used 11/2 cups of zucchini and added a brown sugar and cinnamon topping wich was 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon mixed together and sprinkled on the top of each muffin before baking. They turned out very good.

I think if I made them again, I would add more spices and make them more of a spice muffin

I too found this recipie a little bland and a little dry. I realy enjoy a nice moist, spiced zucchini bread. For this recipie I substituted a spice blend(cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, orange zest, cloves and ginger) for the cinnamon and VERY liberally sprinkled the tops with cinnamon-sugar before baking.
