A lot of times, Zucchini is made into a chocolaty cake or a sweeter bread, but this recipe is a savory version that is sure to please.
Ingredients:
1 large zucchini, grated
1 medium onion, grated
1 stick butter, melted
3 eggs
1/4 cup of honey
3 cups whole wheat white flour or 1 1/2 cups white flour and 1 1/2 cups wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 cup milk (if necessary)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350ยบ F. Butter a loaf pan or place parchment paper in it.
Stir together the zucchini, onion, eggs, butter, and honey. Make sure you don't squeeze out any water from the zucchini or onion because the liquid is crucial for the batter. Mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry. Depending on the amount of juice from the zucchini and onion, you may need to add some milk to the batter if it is too thick to combine. You wont need more then 1/3 cup.
Put the batter in the pan and bake for 30- 60 minutes. It all depends on your oven. Start with 30 and then check every 10 minutes until its cooked. A skewer will come out clean when its done.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing. The loaf will taste good the day of but is also great the next day.
