Ingredients
  

  • 1 leek (about 5.5 ounces/160g), thinly sliced
  • sweet onion (about 2.5 ounces/70g), chopped
  • 1 small broccoli crown (about 5.5 ounces/160g), finely chopped
  • 2 zucchini (about 12.5 ounces/350g), shredded
  • ½ cup (120ml) nondairy milk
  • ½ lemon juiced
  • 2 ½ cups (300g) all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon (5g) nutritional yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 egg replacers* see note
  • cup (80ml) neutral oil canola or vegetable
  • Everything but the Bagel seasoning for topping
  • Spray oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Add the leeks and onion to a pan. You can add a small drizzle of oil or just use some spray oil and a bit of water. Sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes until softened and fragrant, stirring occasionally. They do not need to be fully cooked through just to start the cooking process. You can also add a sprinkle of salt.
  • Meanwhile, use a food processor or a grate to shred the zucchini. Place in a bowl lined with a towel or paper towel. Wrap around the zucchini and let it sit for about 5 minutes to draw out water.
  • Add broccoli to the food processor with chopping blade and chop until it is very fine. Alternatively, you can do this with a sharp knife. However, the finer you chop the broccoli the better.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup combine the nondairy milk and lemon juice. Mix together it should thicken and curdle.
  • In a large mixing bowl add the flour, baking powder, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and nutritional yeast. Whisk together to combine.
  • Then add in the vegan buttermilk, egg replacers, and oil. Mix with a spatula until it just starts to come together.
  • Add in all the vegetables: shredded zucchini, chopped broccoli, sautéed leeks and onions. Fold in with a spatula and mix until a thick batter is formed. The batter will become more moist from the liquid in the vegetables.
  • Spray a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with spray oil.
  • Pour the batter in and top with everything bagel seasoning (if desired).
  • Bake for 1 hour or until golden on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for at least a half hour. Then carefully flip onto a wire rack and cool for another half hour before slicing.
  • Slice into 8 to 12 slices depending on how many servings you like. Top with vegan butter if desired and enjoy.

Notes

  • I like to use Bob's Red Mill egg replacer. It is made mostly of potato starch. You can use a flax egg, chia egg, or any egg replacer you like - just need the equivalent of 2 servings.
  • I used a standard 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
  • My Food Processor
  • Everything Bagel Seasoning
  • Everyone's ovens run differently, you may need to adjust cooking time and temperature.
