Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan by spraying it generously with non-stick spray.
- Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Gently squeeze the grated zucchini to remove excess moisture.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, combine the milk and vinegar, allowing them to sit for a few minutes to curdle into buttermilk. Whisk in the melted butter and egg.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined.
- Add the squeezed zucchini, grated sharp cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions to the batter and fold until just incorporated.
- Carefully pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour until golden brown.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes
Ensure zucchinis are well-squeezed but not completely dry; avoid overmixing for a lighter texture. Use freshly grated cheese for the best flavor.
