No fear VEGGIE muffin

I have tried carrot muffin before, and so I guess adding veggies into the muffin batter won't be that bad, :D and finally have a chance to try zucchini muffin!

No fear veggie muffin recipe
1 1/2cup all purpose flour
1/2cup sugar (can add 1/3cup more according to the sweetness you prefer)
1/2cup packed brown sugar
1tsp baking soda
1tsp ground cinnamon
1/2tsp salt
1egg
1/4cup oil
1/4cup milk (I used 2% lactose free)
1/4cup grated apple
1cup grated zucchini (squeeze out all water)
1/2cup each chopped nuts and semi-sweet chocolate chips

1) combine flour, sugar, baking soda, spices and salt in a bowl.
2) mix together egg, oil, milk, grated apple and zucchini in a separate bowl, pour into the dry mixture. Stir along with chopped nuts and Choco chips to combine and form a thick batter.
3) divide batter into 10-12muffin tin lined with paper cups (depends on size). Bake in 450Fpreheated oven for 10mins, lower temp and bake until golden brown, about 7-10mins.

Note:
~ Chocolate chip is crucial in this recipe, it gives sweetness to the muffin, if for any reason, you left it out, add more sugar and adjust the taste. But really, who would leave out chocolate?
~ zucchini is the trickiest part, measure it right after you grated it, it should be 1cup loosely packed. Then you take it out, try your best to squeeze out all excess water, at this point, measure again, should get 3/4cup tightly packed. Too much water will turn the muffin into a rubber disk! So this step is very important!!!
