Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups, grated Zucchini
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Olive oil
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Dried Italian herbs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried Italian herbs.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the olive oil and milk until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 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.
Slice and serve the zucchini and Parmesan bread on its own or with a dollop of butter. Enjoy!
