Here’s an easy and delicious recipe for zucchini cheese bread:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano (optional)
- 1/2 tsp dried basil (optional)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Prepare Zucchini: Grate the zucchini and squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Set aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and basil.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil (or melted butter), milk, and apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice).
- Combine Ingredients: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add Zucchini and Cheese: Fold in the grated zucchini and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
