More Zucchini

After I thought I had processed all of my zucchini and squash this weekend, I found a few more in my shopping bag from last week's farmers market run.  So, I was looking for something different to do with them.  I ran across a recipe for zucchini cornbread.  Figured it was worth trying.  While it turned out tasty, I think I would like to find another recipe as this one was a little greasy because of the brown butter.  But it was good and if you are a brown butter type of person, I am sure you'd like it!

Zucchini Cornbread
Adapted from: http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/zucchini-cornbread

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter plus more for pan
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten**
• 1/2 cup buttermilk (I made a substitute: 1/2 tsp lemon juice in milk to 1/2 cup)
• 1 large yellow zucchini* (about 10 ounces)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 cup medium-grind cornmeal

1. Position a rack in the middle of oven and preheat to 350°. Butter a 9 x 5 x 3" loaf pan.
2. Melt 1/2 cup butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Continue cooking until butter solids at bottom of pan turn golden brown, about 3 minutes. Scrape butter into a medium bowl. Set aside and let cool. Whisk in eggs and buttermilk.
3. Trim zucchini ends. Thinly slice five 1/8" rounds from 1 end of zucchini and reserve for garnish. Coarsely grate remaining zucchini. Add to bowl with butter mixture and stir until well blended.
4. Sift both flours, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda into a large bowl. Whisk in cornmeal. Add zucchini mixture; fold just to blend (mixture will be very thick). Transfer batter to prepared pan and smooth top. Place reserved zucchini slices atop batter down center in a single layer.
5. Bake bread until golden and a tester inserted into center comes out clean, 55-65 minutes. Let cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove from pan; let cool completely on a wire rack. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
