Ingredients:

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup 2% low-fat milk
  • 1 1/2-2 cups confectioners' sugar

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, oil, orange juice and extract. Combine dry ingredients; gradually add to egg mixture and mix well. Stir in zucchini.
  2. Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
