Usually I wind up cooking too much and looking for people to share it with or my poor husband has to eat the same thing for days.
Ok, here are a couple of my own. I hope they don't sound like TOO much trouble, but they are both so very good. I know the muffins make more than my husband and I can ever eat, but that's never a problem because my friends never complain when we give some away. The zucchini is so addictively good that I can't make it unless I know I am going to take it to a pot luck or something. If it's home I just pick at it repeatedly until it's gone. Not good for me. It is good hot or warm or room temp. Hope you like them.
ZUCCHINI SQUARES
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp. chopped parsley
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 clove garlic, minced, or 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
4 eggs, beaten
1 c. buttermilk baking mix, such as Bisquick (I use the lite Bisquick)
3 c. unpeeled, thinly sliced zucchini (small)
Combine oil, 3 eggs, stir in baking mix and fold in zucchini. Spread in greased 9x13 inch pan. Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Check for firmness, it may take longer in your oven. Cut in squares and serve hot.
DONUT MUFFINS makes 10 regular muffins I like this because I don't have to pull out the mixer and it uses ingredients I have in the house
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Coating
2 tablespoons butter, melted (optional)
1/2 cup superfine sugar (you can pulse regular sugar in food processor to make it), or powdered sugar
•Lightly grease a muffin tin with vegetable oil or spray.
•In a large bowl, beat together sugar and egg until light in color. Add vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla to sugar mixture and combine.
•In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Then pour into liquid mixture and stir to combine.
•Fill muffin cups 3/4 full, and bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 18-20 minutes (but check on it if you oven is faster), or until a tester inserted in the middle comes out clean. Using a pastry brush, brush cooled muffins with melted butter and dip buttered tops in fine sugar or sprinkle with powdered sugar to finish.

Hello:
This is exactly what I've been looking for....so I thank you.
I just printed out the recipe which sounds very much like a "zucchini quiche" recipe I used to make many moons ago...........however, this one sounds easier to serve, being that it is cut into squares rather than served from a pie dish or quiche pan.
All of the ingredients turn it into a very yummy "snack" as you mention, either cold, warm or right out of the oven......or a great lunch or simple supper.
It's actually an old Italian recipe given a modern spin with the Bisquick.
Again, thank you. Can't wait to go out to buy the zucchini.....
