Savory zucchini bread is a tender quick bread that's packed with flavors like garlic, parmesan, and chives. It makes a great addition to a bowl of tomato soup or can be enjoyed on its own with a bit of softened butter spread on top.

Ingredients

1.5 cups (220 g) finely grated zucchini, after measuring, squeeze liquid out
1 cup (227 g) buttermilk
2 large eggs
¼ cup (56 g) unsalted butter, melted
2 ¼ cups (270 g) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup (56 g) freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped chives

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease one 9x5 loaf pan (or line with parchment paper) and set aside.
In a bowl, add finely grated zucchini (after liquid has been squeezed out), buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk until evenly incorporated. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add wet ingredients. Stir until incorporated. Add cheese and chives and stir just until incorporated. Batter will be thick.
Pour into prepared loaf pan. Bake for about 48 to 55 minutes, OR until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean/with dry crumbs, or bread reaches 200 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit in the center (baking times will vary based on your oven and type of pan used).
Allow bread to cool completely on the counter before removing from pan and slicing.

Notes

Leftover zucchini bread will keep in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. If your bread is very moist/wet, I recommend refrigerating.
Zucchini bread can be frozen for up to 6 months. Tightly wrap in plastic wrap/foil and store in a freezer safe bag or container. Thaw on the counter top for 1 to 3 hours.
