Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup shredded zucchini
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
3 Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
4 Whisk oil, milk, egg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
5 Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just moistened; fold in zucchini, chocolate chips, and walnuts.
6 Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.
7 Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the tin briefly before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8 Enjoy!
