• 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

• 1 tbsp chia seeds or flaxseed meal for fiber
• ½ tsp garlic powder or onion powder for savory flavor

• Loaf pan (8×4 or 9×5-inch)

How to Make Flourless Oatmeal Bread

PIN IT

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. In a blender or food processor, combine rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Blend into a fine flour-like consistency.
3. Add cottage cheese, eggs, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. Blend until smooth and thick.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
5. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Poulef’s Tip: Let it cool fully — this helps the bread firm up and slice beautifully. Warm slices tend to crumble when cut too soon!

What to Serve with Flourless Oatmeal Bread

Here’s how I love it:

• Toasted with avocado and sea salt
• Spread with almond butter and honey for breakfast
• Or served with soups and stews for cozy dinners

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Blend well: the smoother the batter, the better the texture.
• Don’t overbake: the bread should stay moist inside.
• Cool completely before slicing or storing.
• For extra flavor, add seeds or herbs to the batter.

Storage Instructions

• Room Temp: Store in airtight container up to 2 days.
• Fridge: Keeps 5–6 days.
• Freeze: Slice, wrap individually, and freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in toaster or oven.
