Savory Zucchini Quick Bread with Cheddar and Jalapeños: An Incredible 7-Step Recipe


  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 41 minute

Ingredients

– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– ½ teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 cup grated zucchini (squeezed to remove excess moisture)
– 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
– 2-3 finely chopped jalapeños (adjust to taste)
– ½ cup whole milk
– 2 large eggs
– ¼ cup vegetable oil
– ¼ cup chopped fresh herbs (optional, such as cilantro or chives)


Instructions

Here is how you can create your Savory Zucchini Quick Bread with Cheddar and Jalapeños with ease:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil until smooth.

4. Incorporate Zucchini and Cheese: Add the grated zucchini, chopped jalapeños, and shredded cheddar cheese to the wet ingredients, mixing well to combine everything uniformly.

5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until no dry flour remains. Be cautious not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

6. Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for even baking.

7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when the bread is ready.

8. Cool: Once the bread is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
