Protein Cottage Cheese Bread

Protein Cottage Cheese Bread

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (small curd recommended)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup rolled oats (or oat flour)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or almond flour for a low-carb option)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1-2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup milk (optional, to adjust batter consistency)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Blend Cottage Cheese and Eggs
    In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Blend until smooth and creamy, with no visible lumps of cottage cheese.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution.

  1. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
    Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Add honey or maple syrup if using. Gently fold everything together until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Add milk if the batter feels too thick.
  2. Pour into Loaf Pan
    Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. For a decorative touch, sprinkle a few extra oats on top.
  3. Bake
    Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Slice and Serve
    Slice and enjoy! This bread pairs well with savory toppings like avocado or nut butter for a protein-packed snack.

Tips:

  • Flavor Variations: Add herbs, seeds, or shredded cheese to the batter for extra flavor. Fresh rosemary, chia seeds, or shredded cheddar are great options.
  • Low-Carb Variation: Substitute almond flour for whole wheat flour for a low-carb, keto-friendly version.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.

Protein Cottage Cheese Bread is a versatile, protein-rich option that’s perfect for any time of day. Try it toasted, topped with eggs for breakfast, or served alongside soup for a filling meal.
