  • 1 cup zucchini
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
  • 5 bacon slices
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp. Sour cream or Greek yogurt

INGREDIENTS NOTES:

ALMOND FLOUR:

  • You would use the finely ground almond flour to obtain the perfect texture of the bread. We don’t have to use the almond meal as it will give the grainy bread.

FRESH ZUCCHINI:

  • We have to grate fresh zucchini and use a new towel or cheesecloth to press out any extra moisture.

SHARP CHEDDAR CHEESE:

  • I use sharp cheddar cheese to make this zucchini bread & to give the rich, & tangy flavor, but you can use mild or medium cheddar instead of sharp cheddar. We should not have to use the pre-shredded cheese in the bread because it doesn’t melt well.

BACON:

  • We have to cook bacon until crispy for the great flavor and texture. We have to chop the bacon into bits then we can add them in the batter.

UNSALTED BUTTER:

  • You would use the liquefied without salt containing butter as it provides richness and wetness. We can also use the coconut oil or butter to make the dairy-free bread.

SOUR CREAM:

  • We add sour cream to this zucchini bread to add the moisture and acidity. We would also utilize the Greek yogurt in replacement of sour cream.

EGGS:

  • Eggs make the bread light and fluffy and they also add structure and binding in making the bread.
