Zucchini Raisin Bran Muffins - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
2/3 cup miller's natural bran (available at natural foods stores, specialty foods shops, and some supermarkets)
2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 cups coarsely grated zucchini

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0F
In a bowl whisk together the flours, the bran, the baking powder, the salt, the cinnamon, and the cloves.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer cream the butter with the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and beat in the vanilla.
Beat the flour mixture into the butter mixture, beat in the milk, and stir in the raisins, the walnuts, and the zucchini.
Divide the batter among 12 well-buttered or paper-lined 1/2-cup muffin tins and bake the muffins in the middle of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.
Turn the muffins out onto a rack and let them cool.
