Cheddar Cheese Zucchini Bread

This savory Cheddar Cheese Zucchini Bread is perfectly soft and buttery and packed with flavor! Perfect for enjoying on its own or as a side.

I have a confession. As much as I go on and on about loving to garden, I’m having the worst time growing zucchini this year. It’s nuts right? It’s usually the one plant that goes out of control taking over the garden and I haven’t had even one little zucchini yet. Luckily there’s always the grocery store where I can stock up on produce to make this delicious Cheddar Cheese Zucchini Bread Recipe I’m sharing today.

Most of my other zucchini bread recipes tend to be sweeter, like these Chocolate Zucchini Banana Muffins or Pumpkin Zucchini Bread. Not this Cheddar Cheese Zucchini Bread though! This is a nice savory quick bread. It reminds me a bit of Red Lobster cheddar biscuits except not as crumbly.

Why I Love Zucchini Bread with Cheese

This bread is buttery, cheddar-cheesy, and perfect on its own or with a bowl of soup. To take it even more over the top you could even brush the top with some garlic butter, my mouth is already watering!

How to Make Cheese Zucchini Bread

Because this is a quick bread, there is no need for yeast, making this recipe fast to pull together. There’s also no need to blot the moisture out of the zucchini which make it even easier!

You simply mix the ingredients pop it in the loaf pan. Top with some extra cheese and pop it in the oven.

One hour later and you’re ready to enjoy this savory, cheesy zucchini bread!
