Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and oil until combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fold in the shredded zucchini, cheese, and chives or green onions if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Squeeze as much liquid as possible out of the zucchini to prevent soggy bread.
Use a mix of cheeses like cheddar and Parmesan for extra flavor.
This bread can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
