Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons scallions, finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch them for 2-3 minutes until tender but still bright green. Drain and chop the broccoli into small pieces. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, Greek yogurt, milk, and eggs. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent the bread from becoming dense.
Fold in the chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, and scallions until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve the bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as a side dish or a tasty snack!
