Description
This savory quick bread features grated zucchini, sharp cheddar cheese, and green onions for a delightful flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups zucchini, grated
- 2 cups all purpose white flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vinegar, white or apple cider
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and spray a 9 x 5 inch bread pan with non stick spray.
- Wrap grated zucchini in a paper towel and squeeze until some liquid releases.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a small bowl, combine milk and vinegar. Mix in melted butter and egg.
- Add milk mixture to dry mixture, being careful not to over mix.
- Add grated zucchini, cheese and onions, mixing lightly until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for one hour.
- If a toothpick inserted comes out clean, bread is done. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Remove carefully and cool on a wire rack.
Notes
- Squeezing excess liquid from the zucchini prevents a soggy bread.
- Do not overmix the batter; it makes a tough bread.
- Homemade buttermilk is made by combining milk and vinegar.
