Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour or 1 ¾ cups flour + ¼ cup almond flour for a nutty flavor
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature important for texture
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream for a richer taste
  • 1-2 tsp citrus zest lemon or orange, to enhance flavor
  • 1 cup seasonal vegetables or fruit options include berries, roasted squash, or sautéed greens

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream the unsalted butter in a bowl until it resembles a soft cloud.
  3. Add the brown sugar and eggs, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. Fold in the Greek yogurt and citrus zest gently to maintain the moisture without greasiness.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in your chosen seasonal vegetables or fruit.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven until a skewer inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs, about 30-45 minutes.
  3. Allow to cool before serving.

Notes
