In a separate bowl, whisk together oil, milk, egg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just moistened.
Fold in zucchini, chocolate chips, and walnuts.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly pressed.
