Zucchini and parmesan bread

Print Recipe

A savory, cheesy quick bread made with fresh zucchini and Parmesan cheese. Moist, flavorful, and perfect as a side or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (squeezed to remove excess moisture)
  • 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 black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or basil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  3. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and chopped herbs if using.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and milk.
  5. Fold the grated zucchini into the wet ingredients.
  6. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini to avoid a soggy loaf.
  • Great served warm with butter or cream cheese.
  • Can be frozen in slices for easy future snacks.
