Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter plus more for pan
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 large zucchini (about 10 ounces)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup medium-grind cornmeal

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of oven and preheat to 350°F. Butter a 9x5x3" loaf pan.
  • Melt 1/2 cup butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Continue cooking until butter solids at bottom of pan turn golden brown, about 3 minutes. Scrape butter into a medium bowl. Set aside and let cool. Whisk in eggs and buttermilk.
  • Trim zucchini ends. Thinly slice five 1/8" rounds from 1 end of zucchini and reserve for garnish. Coarsely grate remaining zucchini. Add to bowl with butter mixture and stir until well blended.
  • Sift both flours, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda into a large bowl. Whisk in cornmeal. Add zucchini mixture; fold just to blend (mixture will be very thick). Transfer batter to prepared pan and smooth top. Place reserved zucchini slices atop batter down center in a single layer.
  • Bake bread until golden and a tester inserted into center comes out clean, 55-65 minutes. Let cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove from pan; let cool completely on a wire rack. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this cornbread. It's a great way to use up extra zucchini from the garden.

I've tried many cornbread recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's moist, flavorful, and has the perfect texture.

I followed the recipe exactly and my cornbread turned out dry and crumbly. Not sure what went wrong.

Just made this recipe and it was a hit with my family! The zucchini adds a moist texture and the cornmeal gives it a nice crunch. Will definitely be making this again.

This zucchini cornbread is a delightful twist on a classic recipe. I added some chopped jalapenos for a bit of spice, and it turned out perfectly. Thanks for sharing!
