\nWhat does one do when they purchase a bag of zucchinis from Costco? Well, make zucchini bread and muffins silly! My freezer is stocked for the apocalypse and our bellies are full.<\/p>\n

While I made my go-to blueberry zucchini bread I also experimented a little. Like honey pecan zucchini muffins! WHAT?! Yup you read that right — honey pecan! Two flavors that blend together so well. I should mention the honey flavor is supper subtle because I didn’t actually use honey, but used Honey MELT\u00ae Organic<\/a> [c\/o], a healthy butter alternative.<\/p>\n

\nHoney MELT Organic combines our signature blend of MELT with organic wildflower honey and cinnamon for a naturally sweet taste. Honey MELT is perfect for everyone who loves the sweet combination of honey and butter but wants a delicious alternative. Honey MELT has half the saturated fat of butter and just 1 gram of sugar per serving.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nI’ve been using Melt for a few months now [see HERE<\/a> and HERE]<\/a> and honestly when I want a little something to spread on toast, muffins, etc. it’s perfect.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nMELT Organic spreads are North America\u2019s first line of luscious butter improvements that are truly good for you. MELT Organic is made with a Perfect Blend of fruit and plant-based oils.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/b>
\nMelt is ideal for baking as it’s smooth, creamy, and full of flavor. Plus it comes in chocolate! My plan is to make some brownies using Chocolate MELT\u00ae Organic<\/a> in the near future.<\/p>\n

Until then, I’ll be sipping on my morning coffee while enjoying a zucchini muffin!

\nHoney Pecan Zucchini Muffins <\/b>
\nMakes 12-18<\/p>\n

Ingredients <\/b>
\n3 cups zucchini, grated
\n2\/3 cup melted Honey MELT\u00ae Organic<\/a>
\n1 1\/3 cup sugar
\n2 eggs
\n2 tsp vanilla
\n2 tsp baking soda
\nPinch salt
\n3 cups flour
\n2 tsp cinnamon
\n1\/2 tsp nutmeg
\n1 cup pecans
\n1 cup raisins<\/p>\n

Directions<\/b>
\nPreheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.<\/p>\n

In a large bowl combine the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in the grated zucchini and melted Honey MELT\u00ae Organic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Stir dry ingredients into the zucchini mixture. Stir in pecans and raisins.<\/p>\n

Spray muffin pan or use liners. Use a 1\/4 cup to distribute the muffin dough equally among the cups, filling the cups up completely.<\/p>\n

Bake on the middle rack until muffins are golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove muffins from and enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
