Zucchini muffins (Paula Dean's Recipe)

I had zucchini from my garden and decided to make zucchini muffins. So, I got on the food network website and found this recipe for zucchini bread that had really good reviews ( I just reduced the cooking time and put the batter into muffin tins). They are really yummy!!!! Here are some pictures of the batter and the finished product.

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup water
2 cups grated zucchini
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, nutmeg, baking soda, cinnamon and sugar. In a separate bowl, combine oil, eggs, water, zucchini and lemon juice. Mix wet ingredients into dry, add nuts and fold in. Bake in 2 standard loaf pans, sprayed with nonstick spray, for 1 hour, or until a tester comes out clean. Alternately, bake in 5 mini loaf pans for about 45 minutes or muffin tins for 20 - 25 minutes or until brown on the top and done in the middle.
