Ingredients

1 flax egg 1 tablespoon ground flax seed +3 tablespoon warm water
⅓ cup maple syrup
6 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 medium bananas mashed (1.5 cups)
1 + ¼ cup oat flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cup shredded zucchini about 2 medium zucchinis
1 cup dairy free chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a muffin tin with muffin liners.
In a small dish mix together ground flax seed and warm water to create your flax egg. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes to thicken.
Wrap the shredded zucchini in a paper towel or cheese cloth (or use a strainer) to squeeze out excess water.
In a large bowl, beat together flax egg, maple syrup, olive oil, vanilla extract and mashed bananas.
To the same bowl, add oat flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon. Mix together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Fold in shredded zucchini, chocolate chips and walnuts.
Divide batter amongst 12 muffin cups (about a heaping ¼ cup of batter in each). Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.
