Ingredientes
- 3/4 cup grated zucchini

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 generous cup grated cheddar cheese (I used extra sharp white cheddar as that is what I usually have on hand)
- 1/2 cup cold, unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (just the plain milk - not the vanilla flavored one)
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
