Grate the zucchinis using the small side of a box grater.

Sprinkle salt over the grated zucchini and mix it in with your hands to draw out moisture.

Let the salted zucchini sit for about 15 minutes to continue drawing out liquid.

Butter the baking pan before placing parchment paper in it to ensure it adheres and to prevent sticking.

Press the parchment paper into the pan, trimming excess so it doesn't touch the oven.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a bowl, combine all dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine and remove lumps.

In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: milk, melted butter, oil, eggs, minced garlic, and white vinegar.

Squeeze out the liquid from the grated zucchini using your hands, packing it into a measuring cup until you have 2 cups.

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and then add the squeezed zucchini. Mix quickly to activate the baking soda with the vinegar.
