2 cups whole-grain pancake or biscuit mix
1 teaspoon cinnamon

¾ cup brown sugar
¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Shred zucchini using largest holes on grater.
Place grated zucchini on paper towels and squeeze to remove water.

In a large bowl, mix whole-grain pancake mix (or biscuit mix) with spices.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, applesauce, and lemon juice.

Thank you for this recipe! I've always loved zucchini bread, but never made it myself. This will be great this summer, when we (hopefully!) have a bounty of zucchini in the garden.

muffins is the way that when my son was little I could get zucchini and other vegetables in him without him making a face or making himself sick.
