Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, bran, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and 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, walnuts, and zucchini.
Step 3
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.
