Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup olive oil
Additional Ingredients:
- 1½ cups shredded zucchini (squeezed dry)
- 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and olive oil until smooth.
- Combine the mixtures: Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the shredded zucchini, cheddar cheese, and chives if using.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze as much moisture as possible out of the zucchini to prevent a soggy loaf.
- This bread is perfect as a side for soups and salads or toasted with a bit of butter.
- Store leftovers wrapped at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
