Hearty whole wheat flour anchors these scones, but if you’re looking to experiment with a new ingredient, we also highly recommend whole grain spelt flour. Look for a grass fed Cheddar, or visit the Oldways Cheese Coalition for more cheese recommendations.
2 ½ cups whole wheat flour (we also loved this recipe with whole grain spelt flour)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 small to medium zucchini, finely grated
4 scallions, sliced
4 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
2 eggs, lightly beaten
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup milk (we used nonfat, but you can substitute what you have)
Optional: 1 jalapeno pepper or 1 Hungarian hot pepper, seeded and diced

What should the grated small to medium zucchini total in terms of measurement?
1 cup? 2 cups?
And…should the liquid from the zucchini be squeezed out?
Hi Patricia,
One small to medium zucchini will yield about 2/3 cup packed, grated zucchini. No need to squeeze out the liquid in this recipe. Enjoy!
