I over bought zucchini when it was on sale and just had to figure out ways to use it. This recipe freezes well and is also very tasty. I love zucchini and when you can use it to make different kinds of bread makes it even better.

Categories     Savory Breads

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 c all purpose flour
1 c whole wheat flour
1/2 c wheat germ
3 c zucchini, shredded
1 Tbsp oregano, dried
1 Tbsp rosemary, dried
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp baking soda
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp cracked pepper
1/4 c butter
1 c red onion, chopped
2 c sharp cheddar, shredded
2 eggs
1/4 c water
1/2 c greek yogurt

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400F
  • 2. In a bowl combine dry ingredients (flours, wheat germ, baking powder, herbs, garlic powder, brown sugar, salt and pepper).
  • 3. Melt butter in fry pan, saute onions until soft but not browned. Combine onions (and butter) with dry ingredients.
  • 4. Add zucchini and combine.
  • 5. Add eggs, water and greek yogurt and combine.
  • 6. Add cheddar cheese and combine.
  • 7. On a pre-greased (I use PAM) baking sheet arrange spoonfuls of mixture in golf ball sized portions, allowing enough space for the batter to spread approximately twice the size of the original ball.
  • 8. Bake for 40 minutes or until a deep golden brown. Makes approximately 36 biscuits.

Tips:

  • Grate the zucchini finely: This will help the zucchini blend into the biscuit dough more easily and prevent it from becoming too watery.
  • Do not overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the biscuits tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the biscuits rise more evenly.
  • Bake the biscuits at a high temperature: This will help the biscuits to rise quickly and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Serve the biscuits warm: Zucchini biscuits are best served warm out of the oven. You can also reheat them in a toaster oven or microwave.

Conclusion:

Zucchini biscuits are a delicious and easy way to use up fresh zucchini. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Serve them with your favorite soup, salad, or main course. You can also freeze zucchini biscuits for later. To freeze, place the baked biscuits in a single layer in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, thaw the biscuits overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then, warm them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until heated through.
