Low-Fat Zucchini Muffins **

From Food.com

A friend of my dad's from work gave him some zucchini's from his garden. I'd been wanting to try using Splenda so I did a search and came across this recipe. They didn't look too appetizing, didn't really brown and not much of a crust, but they actually tasted really good. I used a non-fat spread instead of margarine and the muffins were still moist and tasty. If you're looking for a low-fat muffin, do give this recipe a try :) Even the kids enjoyed them.
