Yummy Zucchini Muffins!

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini)

1 cup wheat flour (can use oat for gluten free and add 1/2 cup of oats)
1/2 cup sorghum powder (its gluten free)
2/3 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)

1/3 cup Splenda brown sugar (not packed)
1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 tbsp. Can't Believe its not butter
3 tbsp. crushed walnuts, divided (optional)
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 tsp. salt

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine both types of flour, Splenda, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.In a separate medium bowl, mix together the zucchini, egg substitute, applesauce, butter, and vanilla extract. Slowly add this mixture to the first bowl, and stir until thoroughly blended. Mix half the crushed walnuts (1 1/2 tbsp.) into the batter. Line 9 cups of a 12-cup muffin pan with baking liners and/or spray with nonstick spray. Evenly distribute batter among the 9 cups. Top each cup with a sprinkling of the remaining 1 1/2 tbsp. crushed walnuts. Bake in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes, until a toothpick poked into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Let cool and then enjoy!
