1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
2 Coarsely shred zucchini. Wrap shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze well and discard excess liquid. Set aside.
3 Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
4 Whisk together buttermilk and egg in a bowl. Stir in melted butter.
5 Stir buttermilk mixture into dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
6 Fold in shredded zucchini, cheese, green onions and chives until combined (batter will be thick).
7 Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
8 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Allow bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
9 Remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack. Recipe developed by Barrett Heald.
