Cottage Cheese Bread Recipe (High-Protein)
Report
This high-protein bread is easy to make with a handful of ingredients like oats and tangy cottage cheese. It's gluten-free and terrific for slathering thick slices with savory or sweet toppings!

Ingredients
- 24 ounces cottage cheese about 2 ¼ cups, full-fat
- 2 ½ cups rolled oats old fashioned
- 5 large egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar (or keto sweetener)
- ¾ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Set out a 9 x 5 inch bread pan. Trim a piece of parchment paper to fit across the bottom and long sides of the pan. Press the parchment paper down into the pan, and fold the paper over the sides. Use 1 tablespoon of olive oil to grease the short sides of the pan to hold the paper in place.
- Set out a large food processor. Place the cottage cheese, rolled oats, eggs, remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, baking powder, sugar, and salt in the food processor. Purée until the oats are mostly ground and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the bread mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle an additional teaspoon of oats over the top of the bread if desired.
- Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted deep into the bread comes out clean. If the top starts getting too dark in the last 10 to 15 minutes, cover it loosely with foil.
- Allow the bread to cool for at least 10 minutes in the pan. Then use the sides of the paper to gently lift the loaf out of the pan. Cool to room temperature before cutting to serve.
Notes
- Cottage Cheese Notes: If the brand of cottage cheese you buy is thick, use it as-is. However, if you buy a brand that has a lot of liquid in it, I suggest draining off the extra liquid before adding the cottage cheese curds to the food processor. This will help the bread rise and stay fluffy after baking.
- Storage: Keep the bread in an airtight container, preferably in a zipper bag that you can squeeze all of the air out of. It will stay fresh on the counter for 2-3 days, and in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- To freeze, wrap the loaf in a layer or two of aluminum foil before placing it in an airtight zipper bag. Squeeze out all excess air, and keep the bread in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw and keep stored in the fridge.
