Zucchini Nut Muffins

Ingredients

3 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
2 cups sugar
4 eggs, room temperature
1 cup oil
2 cups grated unpeeled zucchini
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup golden raisins (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Generously grease standard-size muffin pans. (Makes 28)

Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; set aside.

Combine sugar and eggs in large bowl of electric mixer and beat at medium speed 2 minutes.  Gradually add oil in slow, steady stream, beating constantly 2 to 3 minutes.  Add zucchini and vanilla and blend well.  Stir in walnuts and raisins.

Fold in sifted dry ingredients just until better is every moistened; do not overmix.
