Savory Zucchini Cheddar Quick Bread

Ingredients

 
  • 1 1/2 cups zucchini, grated
  • 2 cups all purpose white flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk I used 2% but whole or non fat would be fine
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar, white or apple cider
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar
  • 2 green onions, chopped or equal amount of chives

Instructions

 
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and oil bread pan or spread with butter.
  • Wrap grated zucchini in a paper towel and squeeze until some of the liquid releases.  You don't need to completely dry it out.  Just a tablespoon of liquid or so.  
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. 
  • In a small bowl, combine milk and vinegar. The milk will curdle a bit.  (you just made homemade buttermilk!)  Mix in melted butter and egg.  
  • Add milk mixture to dry mixture being careful not to over mix.  (over mixing will make for a low rising bread).
  • Add grated zucchini, cheese and onions.   Mixing lightly until just combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees for one hour.
  • If toothpick inserted comes out clean, bread is done!  Cool for 10 minutes in the pan.  Remove carefully and cool on wire rack.
