So here is a collaboration of some of my favourite zucchini baking recipes...I love zucchini shredded through spag sauce, on the BBQ, ratatouille, in lasagna...and I have even been given recipes that use zucchinis in place of apples in pies.
Today I have made the following which all the crew have liked...
Zucchini Cheddar Bread
I found this recipe here at honey&jam. Its a great recipe - smells divine when cooking too.
10-12 servings.
Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 9 x 5-inch (8-cup) loaf pan.
Whisk together in a large bowl:
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Add and toss to separate and coat with flour:
1 cup coarsely shredded zucchini
3/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped scallions (or white onion)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon snipped fresh dill, or 2 teaspoons dried
Whisk together in another bowl:
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) warm melted unsalted butter or vegetable oil
Add to the flour mixture and mix with a few light strokes just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Do not overmix; the batter should not be smooth. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a rack for 5 to 10 minutes before unmolding to cool completely on the rack.
P.S. No buttermilk? Add a touch of vinegar to 1 cup of milk. That’s what I did and it worked perfectly.
Zucchini Slice
Everyone loves a zucchini slice and they are so easy and versatile....hot or cold they are a crowd pleaser.
