Ingredients

Scale
  • Dry Ingredients:
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup whole wheat flour
    • 1 tbsp baking powder
    • 1 tsp baking soda
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Wet Ingredients:
    • 1 large zucchini, shredded (about 1 ½ cups)
    • 1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
    • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
    • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
    • 12 oz beer (any light or pale ale works best)
    • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
    • 3 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Zucchini:
    Shred the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Set aside.
  2. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients:
    Stir in the shredded zucchini, cheddar cheese, parsley, and dill. Mix until evenly distributed. Pour in the beer and honey (or maple syrup) and mix until just combined—do not overmix.
  5. Transfer to the Pan:
    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and drizzle the melted butter evenly over the surface.
  6. Bake:
    Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Check at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  7. Cool and Serve:
    Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • This bread pairs wonderfully with soups, stews, or chili.
  • For extra flavor, try adding ½ tsp smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for a little heat.
  • Use any herbs you prefer—thyme and chives also work well.
