Healthy Benefits

Cottage cheese is rich in casein protein (about 24 g per cup) and calcium, while eggs provide essential nutrients and binding without heaviness

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (small‑curd, full‑fat recommended)
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

Tools Needed

  • Blender or food processor (or a whisk and bowl)
  • 9×5‑inch loaf pan
  • Parchment paper or non‑stick spray
  • Mixing bowl (if blending manually)

Suggested Substitutions & Add‑Ins

  • Oats or oat flour instead of almond flour—just use about ⅔ cup to adjust moisture
  • Seasonings: garlic powder, Italian herbs, or onion powder for savory flavor
  • Sweet version: add cinnamon, honey, or a dash of vanilla

How to Make Flourless Cottage Cheese Bread

  1. Preheat & prep
    Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment or spray well.
  2. Blend the batter
    In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Blend until mostly smooth—few small curds are okay but you want a cohesive batter.
  3. Pour & bake
    Pour batter into pan. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool & slice
    Let the loaf rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool an additional 10 minutes before slicing to maintain structure.

What to Serve with Flourless Cottage Cheese Bread

  • Savory: drizzle with olive oil, top with tomato & fresh basil, use for egg or veggie sandwiches
  • Sweet: spread with honey, jam, or nut butter for a comforting breakfast
  • Soup companion: pairs beautifully with tomato soup, chili, or creamy bisques

Tips for Making It Perfect

  • Drain cottage cheese well to avoid a soggy loaf
  • Don’t overblend—keep some texture for tenderness
  • Check at 35 minutes; ovens vary—cover with foil if browning too fast
  • Make ahead: bake in advance and toast fresh slices to revive

Storage Instructions

  • Room temp: airtight container, up to 2 days
  • Refrigerate: wrap tightly and refrigerate up to 5 days
  • Freeze: slice, wrap each slice in plastic, and store for up to 2 months
  • Reheating: toast, microwave for 15–20 seconds, or warm in a 350 °F oven for 5 minutes
