I am rating this for my Mom who made them. She said they were 'ok' and 2 stars is defined as 'ok'. -
These are very delicious! Super easy to assemble and bake and they are very tasty. Light, moist muffins and you really can't taste the zucchini. Even my kids who normally don't eat zucchini loved these! I left out the raisins and nuts - my kids won't eat them. The glaze gives a nice shiny top and a lovely lemon flavor. Thanks for sharing. We will make these often!

<p>I live with my husband, four cats, and a sweet mutt named Jada in Scarborough, Ontario, where I work as an elementary school administrative assistant. I have a 31 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend in nearby Don Mills, along with my sweet granddogs, Frankie and Turbo. I would have to say that my passion is animals, since I have so many of them! <br /><img src=http://images.quizilla.com/H/h0t5auce/1108834307_brown_answer.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cookswithcattitude.JPG alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/CalendarGirlsSwap2009.jpg alt= /> <br /><br />If I had a month off work to do what I please, I would first catch up on my sleep and then just have fun - see a few movies and maybe take a couple of short trips - something that wouldn't break the bank - lol!</p>
