How to Make Zucchini Cheese Bread
  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded zucchini, green onions, eggs, sour cream, and melted butter until well blended.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Grease Loaf Pan: Generously grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 50-70 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Allow the bread to cool slightly in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack.
