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.
