Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup almond flour (or flour of your choice)
  • 1/2 cup oat fiber (or additional almond flour)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for added flavor)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Herbs of choice (e.g., rosemary or thyme for added flavor, optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Whisk until you achieve a creamy consistency.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, oat fiber, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the grated Parmesan cheese if using.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture while stirring. Make sure everything is well combined. If desired, fold in the chopped herbs for an aromatic twist.
  5. Pour in the olive oil and mix well until the dough forms. The consistency should be thick and slightly sticky.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top for an even bake.
Baking
  1. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Once baked, remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice and enjoy!

Notes

Cottage cheese bread can be enjoyed as toast with avocado or poached eggs, used in low-carb sandwiches, or enjoyed as a snack with honey or almond butter.
