Equipment

  • 9 x 5 inch bread pan

Ingredients
  

Vegetables

  • 1.5 cups zucchini, grated
  • 2 cups all purpose white flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk 2% or whole or non fat
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar white or apple cider
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1.5 cups grated sharp cheddar
  • 2 pieces green onions, chopped

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9 x 5 bread pan with non stick spray.
  • 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.

Notes

To use buttermilk; Simply omit the milk and vinegar combination and replace with one cup of buttermilk. Bread will keep 3 days at room temp, another day in the fridge and frozen up to 3 months.
