Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 5 tablespoons Water
• 1 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup Non-fat milk
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.75 cup Aged sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
• 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with olive oil or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with water and let it stand for at least 5 minutes to form a gel-like consistency which serves as a binder.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

In another bowl, blend the Greek yogurt, non-fat milk, olive oil, and the flaxseed mixture until smooth. This will serve as your wet ingredients.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the grated cheddar cheese, chives, and chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the pan 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

Once cooled, slice and serve this delicious heart-healthy savory cheddar cheesebread.
