Description

Imagine a savory bread, its crumb tender and moist, studded with the bright, salty pops of feta cheese and the briny tang of olives. This zucchini bread is not your typical sweet treat; instead, it offers a delightful Mediterranean twist, fragrant with the earthy aroma of oregano. It's an invitation to share a unique culinary experience.

This savory loaf is incredibly easy to prepare, making it an ideal choice for a satisfying lunch, a delightful addition to a picnic basket, or a flavorful afternoon snack. The key to achieving the perfect texture is to ensure the zucchini is well-drained, preventing any unwanted sogginess and guaranteeing a light, airy crumb. For those seeking a plant-based alternative, the eggs can be easily substituted with chia seeds.

Simply mix chia seeds with water and allow the mixture to sit until it forms a gel-like consistency. While this substitution might slightly alter the density of the bread, it will still maintain its delicious savory character. The feta cheese can also be replaced with a plant-based alternative, or any other vegan cheese that melts well and offers a similar salty flavor profile.

Feel free to experiment with different types of olives – green or black, or a combination of both – to create your own signature flavor. If you prefer smaller portions or are looking for bite-sized snacks, consider using cupcake tins instead of a loaf pan. Remember to adjust the baking time accordingly, checking for doneness after a shorter period.

The bread is ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of this savory zucchini bread, a delightful alternative to traditional sweet loaves. It's a simple yet elegant dish that's sure to impress your friends and family, a true celebration of Mediterranean flavors in every bite.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Line a muffin pan with paper or silicone casings. Grate zucchini using the coarse side of a cheese grater. Transfer to a sieve over a bowl, sprinkle with 1/4 tsp sea salt, massage, and set aside for 10 minutes to release excess juices. After 10 minutes, squeeze out as much liquid as possible; discard juices.
    2.
    In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, ground linseeds, baking soda, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and sea salt. Whisk to combine. Dice olives and set aside. In another bowl, beat eggs with olive oil, add drained grated zucchini, diced olives, and crumbled feta cheese. Stir to combine.
    3.
    Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients along with ½ cup water, using a spatula to fold mixtures together. Fill each paper casing with ¼ cup of the mixture, filling ¾ full to allow room to rise. This recipe yields approximately 12 regular muffins.
    4.
    Bake in the center of the oven for 20-22 minutes or until golden on top. Test for doneness by poking the center with a skewer or knife; if it comes out dry, the muffins are done. Remove from the tin and allow to cool on a wire rack.
