Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 2 cups grated zucchini (squeezed to remove excess moisture)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and milk. Stir in the grated zucchini.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and oregano.
- Combine wet and dry: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in the shredded cheddar and Parmesan cheeses.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Be sure to squeeze as much moisture from the zucchini as possible to avoid a soggy loaf.
- This bread pairs wonderfully with soups or makes a savory snack on its own.
- You can also add chopped scallions or a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
