Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 5 tablespoons Water
- 1 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Non-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 cup Aged sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with olive oil or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with water and let it stand for at least 5 minutes to form a gel-like consistency which serves as a binder.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, blend the Greek yogurt, non-fat milk, olive oil, and the flaxseed mixture until smooth. This will serve as your wet ingredients.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the grated cheddar cheese, chives, and chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, and the top is golden brown.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve this delicious heart-healthy savory cheddar cheesebread.
