Ingredients

1 ½ cups shredded zucchini (DO NOT squeeze out the water)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 large eggs
¾ cup sour cream
½ cup cooled melted butter
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment and lightly coat with cooking spray. Set aside.
To a medium size mixing bowl, add zucchini, chives, eggs, sour cream, cooled melted butter, and stir to combine. Add in cheddar cheese and stir again.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until combined. The batter will be very thick. Spoon zucchini mixture into the prepared loaf pan and bake for approximately 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Remove bread from the oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Remove from pan, then cool completely on a wire rack.
Slice and serve immediately, or store in plastic wrap on the counter or refrigerator.

Notes

TO FREEZE - Let the bread cool completely, then wrap tightly in foil or plastic. You can freeze the whole loaf at a time or in individual slices. To serve, let it thaw, then serve or warm in the microwave or toaster oven.
