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

Instructions

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


2. 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.  


3. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda
   and salt. 


4. 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.  


5. Add milk mixture to dry mixture being careful not to over
   mix.  (over mixing will make for a low rising bread).


6. Add grated zucchini, cheese and onions.   Mixing
   lightly until just combined.


7. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees for
   one hour.


8. If toothpick inserted comes out clean, bread is done!
    Cool for 10 minutes in the pan.  Remove carefully and cool on wire
   rack.

Recipe Notes

• To use buttermilk;   Simply omit the milk and vinegar
  combination and replace with one cup of buttermilk.
