Preparation

Step 1

1) Squeeze zucchini until dry; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs, brown sugar, oil, orange juice, orange peel and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in raisins and reserved zucchini.

3) To freeze, wrap the muffins in foil and freeze for up to 3 months.
