Healthy Broccoli Loaf

Healthy Broccoli Loaf

A delicious and healthy broccoli loaf made with whole wheat flour, fresh broccoli, and cheese. This loaf is perfect for any meal, whether as a savory snack or side dish.

  • Total Time: 50-55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 slices

Ingredients

  • Broccoli: 1 cup, finely chopped
  • Whole Wheat Flour: 1 1/2 cups
  • Eggs: 2 large
  • Olive Oil: 1/4 cup
  • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
  • Cheese (Cheddar or Parmesan): 1/2 cup, grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with oil or non-stick spray.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, garlic, and grated cheese until smooth.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Fold the finely chopped broccoli into the egg mixture, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
  4. Assemble the Dish: In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Finishing Touches: Allow the loaf to cool for about 15 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the loaf and enjoy it on its own or with your favorite spread!

Notes

  • Let the loaf cool before slicing to avoid it falling apart.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding spices like paprika or cayenne.
