Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 cups grated zucchini
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk (2% or whole)
1 tablespoon vinegar (white or apple cider)
1 egg
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
2 chopped green onions

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9 x 5 inch bread pan with non-stick spray.
Wrap grated zucchini in paper towels and gently squeeze to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a small bowl, combine milk and vinegar to create buttermilk. Then add melted butter and egg; stir until combined.
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined.
Fold in the prepared zucchini, cheddar cheese, and green onions until evenly distributed.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for one hour or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow cooling for ten minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
