Zucchini Muffins

These are delicious, don't require a mixer, and pretty healthy too! If you want to boost the nutritional value, I put what I switched up from the original recipe in (parenthesis). Enjoy while they're warm (or microwave them for 20 seconds). Makes 12 muffins.

Zucchini Chocolate Chip Muffins
1 1/2 c. flour (or 1 c. flour + 1/2 c. whole wheat flour)
3/4 c. sugar
1 t. baking soda
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. salt
1 egg
1/2 c. oil (or 1/4 c. oil + 1/4 c. applesauce)
1/4 c. milk
1 T. lemon juice
1 t. vanilla
1 c. shredded zucchini - about 1 medium
1/4 c. mini chocolate chips
1/4 c. walnuts, chopped

In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In separate bowl, combine the egg, oil, milk, lemon juice and vanilla; mix well. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just moistened (don't overmix). Fold in zucchini, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups. Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes.
