Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 cup shredded zucchini
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.

Step 2

Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.

Step 3

Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk oil, milk, egg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just moistened; fold in zucchini, chocolate chips, and walnuts.

Step 4

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.
