Ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ cup tapioca flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ⅓ cup cacao or cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 medium ripe banana, mashed
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cup grated zucchini

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a muffin tin with parchment paper liners

- Add the eggs, mashed banana, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla extract, and fold everything together until combined.
- Place your grated zucchini on a large paper towel, and wrap the paper towel around the zucchini so it completely encapsulates it. Lightly squeeze the zucchini a couple of times to remove excess water.
