Zucchini Cornbread

This Zucchini Cornbread is a delicious twist on traditional cornbread. This cornbread is the perfect balance of sweet and savory and is loaded with flavor. It’s made with sharp cheddar cheese, jalapeno, and of course zucchini which makes this cornbread incredibly moist. Top this zucchini cornbread off with a sweet honey butter for a delicious side or afternoon snack.

I cannot believe that September is right around the corner. This summer seemed to go by so quickly! And with the end of summer always comes the surplus of zucchini, and while I love grilling and sautéing zucchini, I love finding new ways to use zucchini.

This Zucchini Cornbread is a mashup between zucchini bread and cornbread. It has the perfect sweet and savory balance and honestly, now it has me craving a big bowl of chili! Cornbread and chili is one of those classic combinations I can’t get enough of. I added sharp cheddar cheese and a small jalapeno to this cornbread for a bit more savory flavor.

You can eat this zucchini cornbread plain or spread a dollop of honey butter on top. The hint of sweetness from the honey butter really balances well with the spicy jalapeno and savory cheddar cheese. And if you’re like me and craving a bowl of chili at the end of August, pair it with your chili, or any other meal you are craving cornbread! I also love eating a slice warm in the afternoon as a snack.
