Ingredients
1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
1 egg
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin or line with paper liners.
Grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean towel.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, melted coconut oil, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract.
Stir in the grated zucchini.
Add the oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until just combined.
Fold in mini chocolate chips if using.
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
