Ingredients
180 g (1½ cups) shredded zucchini (unsqueezed)
25 g (¼ cup) sliced green onion (optional)
2 large eggs
180 g (¾ cup) sour cream
60 ml (¼ cup) butter, melted and cooled
170 g (1½ cups) shredded cheddar cheese
240 g (2 cups) all-purpose flour
1½ tsp (6 g) baking powder
½ tsp (2.5 g) baking soda
½ tsp (2.5 g) salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine zucchini, green onion, eggs, sour cream, and butter. Stir well.
Fold in the cheddar cheese.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add dry ingredients to the wet mix. Stir until just combined. Add a splash of milk if needed.
Pour batter into the pan, smooth top, and optionally sprinkle with more cheese.
Bake for 50–70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool slightly, remove from pan, and slice to serve.
