Zucchini season is here and I am cranking out zucchini recipes! Zucchini is a very popular ingredient you can add to bread. There is sweet zucchini bread, and then there is savory zucchini bread. This recipe is for my savory Cheddar Zucchini Bread and let me tell you, it’s delicious! This quick bread comes together in no time, and it bakes up perfectly! It’s filled with shredded cheddar cheese, garlic, and shredded zucchini. Make it with me!
Zucchini
Zucchini really is such a versatile vegetable! Think of all the things you can make with zucchini!
You can use a vegetable spiralizer and turn them into zoodles! They can then be used as a substitute for pasta!
You can also chop them up into sticks and turn them into zucchini fries!
You also can hollow them out and make them zucchini boats!
Like this recipe, you can shred the zucchini up and make a savory cheesy bread loaf, or a chocolate sweet loaf.
You can even make a zucchini spice cake!
Whether you grow your zucchini in your garden at home or pick it up from the local farmers market or grocery store, there are tons of ways you can use zucchini in your recipes!
What You Need to make Cheddar Zucchini Loaf
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ cup shredded zucchini
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 8 tablespoons butter, melted
What is the easiest way to shred zucchini?
I have found that it’s easiest to shred up zucchini with a box grater! Yes, I do it by hand, but for me, it works!
For this cheddar zucchini bread, after I shred it, I like to squeeze out as much water as I can before adding it to the dough.
