Ingredients

Shredded Zucchini:

1 1/2 cups

Plain White Flour:

2 cups

Baking Powder:

2 tsp

Baking Soda:

1/2 tsp

Table Salt:

1/2 tsp

Milk (2%, whole, or nonfat):

1 cup

White or Apple Cider Vinegar:

1 tbsp

Large Egg:

1

Unsalted Butter, melted:

3 tbsp

Sharp Cheddar Cheese, grated:

1 1/2 cups

Green Onions, chopped:

2


Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare Baking Pan and Zucchini

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9 x 5 inch bread pan with non-stick spray. Wrap the shredded zucchini in a paper towel and gently squeeze out excess liquid. You don’t need to dry it completely—just release about a tablespoon of liquid.

  2. Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix thoroughly.

  3. Step 3: Create Buttermilk and Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine milk and vinegar. Let it sit to curdle slightly. Whisk in melted butter and egg until smooth.

  4. Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Add the wet milk mixture to the dry flour mixture. Gently fold together, being careful not to overmix.

  5. Step 5: Add Zucchini, Cheese, and Green Onions

    Fold in the zucchini, cheddar cheese, and green onions. Mix until evenly distributed.

  6. Step 6: Bake and Cool the Bread

    Pour batter into the prepared pan, bake at 350°F (175°C) for about an hour. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of cracked black pepper to the batter before baking.
  • This bread freezes well; slice it before freezing for convenient individual servings.
