Cranberry Orange Zucchini Muffins
Cook's notes: Cranberry Orange Zucchini Muffins are a great way to use up zucchini surplus. You can bake these muffins and freeze extras for another time. I would hold off on adding the glaze if you freeze them though. Once muffins are thawed you can make the glaze. The orange juice in the glaze brings out the orange flavor in the muffins. Recipe makes 16- 18 medium sized muffins.
