Ingredients

• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups cornmeal
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cups milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons scallions, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.

Step 2

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch them for 2-3 minutes until tender but still bright green. Drain and chop the broccoli into small pieces. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, Greek yogurt, milk, and eggs. Whisk until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent the bread from becoming dense.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, and scallions until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as a side dish or a tasty snack!
