Grate the zucchini using a cheese grater. Add it to a mesh colander and place it over a bowl to drain. Add the salt to the zucchini and set it aside.
Next, add all the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl. Whisk together to combine.
In a separate bowl add the banana and mash it with a fork. Add the remaining wet ingredients (including the chia seed and flaxseed) and mix together with a baking spatula.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together. This is a dry dough; it requires some muscle to mix.
Back to the grated zucchini. Using your fist, push as much liquid out of the zucchini as you can. Turn the zucchini mixture a couple of times and repeat.
Add the grated zucchini to the muffin batter bowl. Discard the zucchini juice liquid.
Mix muffin batter just until the zucchini is evenly incorporated. Don’t overmix.
Scoop the zucchini batter into a muffin pan. Tablespoon scoop works great for this. Fill each muffin cup to the top.
Bake for 35 minutes. Cool for about 10 minutes before enjoying!
