  3. Grate zucchini and press to remove excess moisture, then add to dry ingredients.
  4. Add wet ingredients: maple syrup, milk, melted coconut oil, egg, and mashed bananas, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fill muffin cups about three-quarters full and sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes, avoiding opening the door for at least 20 minutes.
  7. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
