Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x5 loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Grate ¾ cup zucchini using a cheese grater, and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible through paper towels.
Whisk together the dry ingredients in a medium bowl: 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda, 1 tsp dried parsley, ½ tsp garlic powder, and ½ tsp salt.
Add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and ¾ cup grated zucchini and mix.
In a separate large bowl, mix 1 beaten egg, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, 2 Tbsp honey, and 1 can of beer of your choice (1.5 cups).
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until combined. The batter will be runny.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the top with ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese. Bake for 55-70 minutes, or until top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the bread cool completely in the pan. Use a spatula or knife to run along the edge to help release the loaf. Slice using a bread knife and serve.
