Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup dairy-free cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir well and let sit for 5 minutes to create a dairy-free buttermilk substitute.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4

Add the dairy-free shredded cheddar cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili flakes (if using) to the dry ingredients. Toss to coat the cheese in the flour mixture.

Step 5

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the almond milk mixture and olive oil. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped chives, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve warm. This bread is great on its own or served with soups and salads.
