Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1.25 cups low-fat buttermilk
• 1 item large egg
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh chives
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Whisk them together until well blended.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add in the buttermilk, egg, and unsweetened applesauce.

Step 4

Mix until just combined, making sure not to overmix as it can make the bread dense.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese and chopped chives until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Slice and serve the savory cheddar cheesebread slightly warm or at room temperature.
