This savory loaf contains No Yeast, think of it more like a cake texture, only savory. This is a moist, soft loaf/pound cake, and incredibly easy to make.
They freeze very well, so always handy if you have unexpected visitors for a light lunch or brunch! As you can see, I've also made these as Bacon and Cheddar Zucchini Bread Muffins.

Baking Times For Different Pans
*** You can make this in a 9 x 13 in pan, double the recipe and check if cooked through after around 35 - 40 minutes.
You can also use this recipe (same quantity ingredients as the regular loaf) to make 12 muffins, bake at the same temperature for between 30 - 35 minutes.
The photo below was taken by Alison North who baked her muffins to take to a work party!
Cathy Kopp also shares some photos of her bake which she decided to enter in to a competition!
She came 3rd so many congratulations!
Cathy got 3 Mini loaves from the batter, and won a prize for submitting our recipe!
Serve warm or cooled, it's delicious either way! Enjoy!
****UPDATE****
Following feedback, please note the cook time may be a little longer so please check after the recommended cook time to see if the center of the loaf is cooked through.
If not, just keep it in the oven at the same temperature for a little longer and it will be fine!
If you're worried the top might burn, just cover with a piece of foil for the remaining cook time. (I haven't ever had to do this, but it's always a good tip to know when you are baking!)

says:Fantastic! Made this yesterday and loved it. I left out the sugar and didn’t miss it at all. I used 1.5 x cheese because I forgot to leave some for the top so just dumped it all in, the loaf was denser than your pics but still amazing. Added spring onion. I do think it needs more salt though.

says:Am I doin gsomething wrong?? Every time I make this the bread it comes out looking nice and fluffy…and then when it cools…it sinks and becomes a dense, non-bready like texture. Is the baking time correct?? 1 hour and 20 minutes?? When I checked it at about 50 minutes a cake tester came out clean….is the full baking time to get the moisture out?? I don’t get it. The taste is nice, but the texture is nothing near bread. Advice??
Kerrie
says:I mistakenly added more cheese (like about half a cup) as I was going to sprinkle some on the top but forgot and mine came out denser than the pictures but still amazing. It took 55 minutes to cook in fan forced oven at about 170c. Maybe adding a bit more cheese like I did might work. I read this recipe and seriously thought it was not going to work. Did you beat the eggs and oil long enough. I think I may have used slightly less oil too.
