CRANBERRY-ZUCCHINI MUFFINS
This recipe is from Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook. I was looking for a lighter muffin recipe to try and stumbled across this one online. The zucchini keeps the muffins extremely moist without having to add a whole lot of oil. The cranberries pop in the oven and add a sour, gooeyness that I just love. If fresh cranberries aren't in season, the frozen ones work just fine.

CRANBERRY ZUCCHINI MUFFINS
I made this recipe based on one of Martha Stewart's recipes. I love cranberries in baked things...the tartness of them. Delicious!! The zucchini adds a little something without being the major flavor. Hope you enjoy them as much as I have! Note: You can substitute the applesauce with oil, I just prefer to use applesauce. Also, the cups will be quite full when you fill them, but I haven't had any trouble with them spilling over.
