Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or line a muffin tin (or use silicone)
Grate zucchini and place on a paper towel or cheese cloth. Wrap and squeeze to remove moisture.
Place zucchini in a mixing bowl with all of the other wet ingredients. Whisk to combine completely.
Separately, add all of the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl, and stir to combine.
Pour the wet mixture in with the dry, and gently fold with a spatula to combine. Avoid over-mixing the batter for a fluffier result!
Pour batter evenly into your muffin tin. Optional - if you want to add some chocolate chips on top, go for it 🙂
Bake for ~20 minutes for a 12-cup muffin tin or 10-15 for a 24-cup mini muffin tin. Test with a toothpick to determine doneness.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
