High-Protein Cottage Cheese Bread (1 Loaf)

  • 2 cups cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

How to Make High-Protein Cottage Cheese Bread

Step 1: Prep

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Blend the Cottage Cheese

Add cottage cheese to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. This ensures a tender, even crumb.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk the blended cottage cheese, eggs, and honey until fully combined.

Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients

Stir in whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix just until a thick batter forms.

Step 5: Bake

Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 45–55 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool & Slice

Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing.

What to Serve with Cottage Cheese Bread

  • Avocado and sea salt
  • Turkey or veggie sandwiches
  • Peanut butter and honey
  • Eggs or scrambled tofu
  • Toasted with butter

This bread is a workhorse — it does it all.

Tips for Making It Perfect

  • Blend cottage cheese until fully smooth
  • Let bread cool completely before slicing

  • Refrigerator: Up to 5 days
  • Freezer: Up to 2 months (slice before freezing)
  • Reheat: Toast slices straight from frozen
