Instructions
- 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.
- Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
- 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.
- 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.
- Step 5: Add Zucchini, Cheese, and Green Onions
Fold in the zucchini, cheddar cheese, and green onions. Mix until evenly distributed.
- 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.
