Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1.25 cups low-fat buttermilk
- 1 item large egg
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Whisk them together until well blended.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add in the buttermilk, egg, and unsweetened applesauce.
Mix until just combined, making sure not to overmix as it can make the bread dense.
Fold in the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese and chopped chives until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the savory cheddar cheesebread slightly warm or at room temperature.
