  5. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and add in the shredded zucchini. Stir until smooth.
  6. Prepare the gelatin egg- In a small pan add the 1/4 cup of water and sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let sit for 2 minutes. Then turn the heat on to medium to melt the gelatin for 1 minute and then remove from the heat and whisk until frothy.
  7. Stir the gelatin egg into the batter. Do this part quickly. Then fold in the carob chips if desired.
  8. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the batter into the muffin tins and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the muffin.
