Chef's notes
I recommend reserving a little bit of the grated zucchini, blend everything, and then add the last bit of zucchini so it doesn’t all get too pureed.
Chocolate chips contain refined sugar, which maybe isn’t a big deal if you have, like, 7 of them on top of the muffin. But if you are trying to keep these COMPLETELY refined sugar free, be sure to skip the chocolate chips on top and opt for cacao nibs, toasted coconut, or chopped nuts instead.
