This High Protein Cottage Cheese Bread is a soft, tender loaf made with blended cottage cheese for an easy way to add extra protein to your day. It's perfect for toast, sandwiches, meal prep, or serving alongside soups and salads.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Add the cottage cheese and eggs to a blender and blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the olive oil and stir just until everything is combined. Avoid overmixing the batter.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread the top into an even layer.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Slice once cooled and serve as desired.
Notes
- Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth for the softest loaf.
- A 1:1 gluten-free flour blend or a 1:1 keto baking flour can be substituted for the all-purpose flour.
- Avoid overmixing once the flour is added to keep the bread light and tender.
- Add herbs, shredded cheese, or everything bagel seasoning for extra flavor.
- Store at room temperature for up to 3 days, refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze sliced bread for up to 2 months.
