Shredded zucchini adds makes these walnutty muffins extra tender. If you have lots of zucchini in summer as many of us do, this is a good way to use some of it. —Harriet Stichter, Milford, Indiana

I so agree with andreasmon2u. If you don't baked the muffins as listed in the recipe, PLEASE DO NOT WRITE A REVIEW. I have not tried these muffins but I love anything zucchini so as soon as the weather permits (Hurricane Irma), I will be going to the grocery store to purchase my ingredients so that I can try these muffins.

Delowenstein, you're WAY off base. You changed this recipe so substantially that what you baked in no way resembled the recipe as written. You have no right to critique it, because YOU NEVER EVEN TRIED THIS RECIPE!

Tasty muffins but a little dry. I agree with another comment that there are other recipes my family prefer over this one.

These turned out good. Our family didn't care for them as much as a couple other recipes I use for zucchini muffins.

Can I substitute Splenda and a little molasses for the brown sugar? I am diabetic and need to cut carbs. I will use white whole wheat flour. I know they won't be the same but at least I can eat them knowing I'm getting more fiber and fewer carbs.

I left out the walnuts and raisons, didn't feel like I wanted those in the muffins this time around. I added chocolate chips instead. These muffins are fantastic.

I replaced the whole wheat flour with additional all-purpose flour and substituted dried cranberries for the raisins. Good breakfast muffin...nice flavor combination, not too sweet!

@delowenstein you completely changed the recipe and then stated that baking time was off. I made these wonderful tasting muffins (so moist and good) and followed the recipe to a tee (except cut back a tad on the sugar. The baking time was right on if you follow the recipe. Thanks for a great tasting muffin.

Easy, moist and delicious. I substituted coconut oil for the butter.
