Cheddar and Chives Zucchini Bread

I love zucchini bread, muffins, and waffles, but this was the first time I have made a savory zucchini bread.  This bread is light, fluffy, and so delicious. 

Ingredients:

1 zucchini grated

1 ¾ cups all purpose flour

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (or use 2 cups all purpose flour)

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup low fat buttermilk (I used 4 tablespoons powdered buttermilk and 1 cup water)

1 large egg

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

1/3 cup chopped chives

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I used half sharp and half white)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a bread pan with baking spray.
2. Mix flour, protein powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a medium bowl.
3. Mix zucchini, egg, chives, cheese, buttermilk, and olive oil in a large bowl. 
4. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients.
5. Transfer to a bread pan and bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing or removing from the pan.
7. Enjoy!
