Ingredients
From 1 1/2 cups zucchini, shredded (do not squeeze)
1/4 cup green onion, sliced (optional)
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the shredded zucchini, green onions, eggs, sour cream, and melted butter. Stir until well mixed, then fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Pour the batter into a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 50 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool slightly before running a knife around the edges of the pan. Remove the loaf, slice, and serve with melted butter if desired.
Notes
Avoid squeezing zucchini too much to keep bread moist
Use room temperature ingredients for better texture
Don’t overmix batter to prevent dense bread
Check doneness with a toothpick before removing from oven
