Zucchini Herb Muffins
"These are an excellent way to use up all that zucchini that has threatened to take over your garden. I took these to work and they were a huge hit. A variety of herbs would work. Try oregano or thyme for a little variety."

excellent! I substituted soy flour for some of the white flour. Also added sage and oregano to the fresh basil. Very clean tasting, will make again! -
Very quick and easy. A different way to use up zucchini. I only used 3 tablespoons of basil, and it seemed enough. Best eaten warm out of the oven! -
Great recipe for the lunchbox. Easy to make. I used a za'atar mix of herbs rather than basil, and soy milk but the recipe still worked well and tasted great.

I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
