Step 1
Grate zucchini on the large holes of a box grater. Squeeze out excess water by wrapping in a clean towel and twisting hard.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe mug, whisk together egg, oil, and sugar until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Add flour, cinnamon, and squeezed zucchini. Fold gently until no dry flour streaks remain.
Step 4
Microwave on high for 3–4 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 5
Let cool 1–2 minutes in the mug. Run a knife around the edge and turn out onto a plate.
