Pumpkin Zucchini Walnut Muffins

Here is the recipe I am adapting this evening. I thought it sounded like a nice twist from the usual zucchini bread.

Zucchini Pumpkin Bread
adapted from Allrecipes.com

3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups All-Purpose flour
1 1/2 cups Whole Wheat flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
2 cup shredded zucchini
1 cup chopped walnuts


Directions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine eggs and sugar. Add pumpkin, butter and vanilla. Combine dry ingredients; gradually add to pumpkin mixture and mix well. Stir in zucchini and nuts. Pour into two greased and floured 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45-50 minutes or until breads test done. Cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove to a wire rack.
(I made 18 muffins and 1 miniloaf from the recipe above.)
