Tip

Big Batch Baked Goods

We enjoy homemade baked goods for breakfast, but I don’t have time to bake each morning before school. So I devote 1 day a month to making large batches of cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, cream cheese rolls and muffins. I place them in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags labeled with the date. (They freeze for about 2 months.) On busy mornings, it’s a snap to pop a few in the microwave to warm. The kids love the fresh-baked flavor. —Lori T., New London, Texas

FABULOUS!! The best zucchini recipe that I have found. I made mini muffins and they were barely cooled before they were all eaten.

I am just thrilled with this recipe. I doubled the recipe and I had left over batter so I made some mini muffins also.I baked the minis for 15 minutes. I had no currants so I made half with cranraisins and walnuts and half with fresh strawberries and walnuts like BasketCase61 suggested. I also squeezed out all of the liquid from the grated zuccini. Delicious!!!

I just made 2 variations of these & both were wonderful! 1 I substitute freshly dehydrated tart cherries for the currants & the other I used chopped fresh strawberries for the currents & made sure any extra moisture was squeezed out of the zucchini. Both excellent!

I doubled the recipe and replaced 1/2cup of all purpose flour with whole wheat flour and they were even better.

I believe you would use the same amount of splenda as you would the regular sugar 1/2 cup.

If I wanted to substitute splenda for sugar how much do I use and do I have to add anything else ?
