Description
This Green Onion Zucchini Cheddar Quick Bread is a savory delight that’s perfect for any occasion. Loaded with fresh zucchini, sharp cheddar, and green onions, it’s a delicious twist on traditional quick bread.
Ingredients
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt (I prefer Morton’s Coarse Kosher Salt)
1 tbsp white or apple cider vinegar
1 large egg (at room temperature for better emulsion)
1 cup milk
3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
2 chopped green onions
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded zucchini (from about 1 1/2 medium zucchini
squeezed dry)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients: baking powder, baking soda, flour, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: vinegar, egg, milk, and melted butter.
- Combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients and stir until just blended.
- Fold in green onions, cheddar cheese, and shredded zucchini until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure to squeeze the zucchini dry to avoid a soggy bread. This bread is best enjoyed warm and can be stored for a few days or frozen for longer shelf life.
