Zucchini Cheddar Quick Bread

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups zucchini, grated
  • 2 cups all purpose white flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup milk(we used whole but non-fat would be fine)
  • 1 tbsp. vinegar(white or apple cider)
  • 1 farm fresh egg
  • 1 1/2 cups farm fresh grated sharp cheddar
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9×5 bread pan with non-stick spray.
  • Wrap grated zucchini in a paper towel and squeeze until some of the liquid comes out, but not completely.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a small bowl, combine milk and vinegar. The milk will curdle(you just made homemade buttermilk) a bit.
  • Add milk mixture to dry mixture being careful not to over mix. If you over mix you’ll have a low rising bread.
  • Add grated zucchini, cheese and onions. Mixing lightly until just combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake at 350 for an hour.
  • If a toothpick inserted, comes out clean, the bread is done. Allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the pan.
  • Remove carefully and cool on wire rack. Enjoy!
