Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a muffin pan with liners.
Shred zucchini using a box grater and remove excess water.
In a bowl, mix dry ingredients: almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk wet ingredients: egg, maple syrup, applesauce, almond butter, non-dairy milk, olive oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
