Ingredients
  

  • 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
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, mix zucchini, green onion, eggs, sour cream, and melted butter until combined.
  • Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 50–70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool slightly, remove from pan, slice, and enjoy your zucchini cheese bread warm with butter.

Notes

Tip: Don’t squeeze the zucchini—it keeps the bread moist.
Variation: Add herbs or swap cheddar for mozzarella to change the flavor of your zucchini cheese bread.
