Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9 x 5-inch bread pan.
Wrap the grated zucchini in paper towels and gently squeeze to remove some moisture.
In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate small bowl, combine milk and vinegar; let it sit to create buttermilk. Add melted butter and egg, whisk until combined.
Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently to combine.
Fold in the drained zucchini, cheddar cheese, and green onions until just mixed.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow cooling in the pan for about ten minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
