Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir in the grated zucchini, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped chives until evenly distributed.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure zucchini is well-drained to prevent a soggy bread.
- Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
