Ingredients
Primary Ingredients
- 1 cup (220 g) full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 egg whites (or 1 whole egg more)
- 1 ½ cup (150 g) rolled oats (or oat flour)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ⅓ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) preparing it to bake the bread.
- Prepare Pan: Line a 6-inch (15 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
- Strain Cottage Cheese: Remove excess liquid from the cottage cheese by straining it carefully to ensure the bread batter is not too wet.
- Blend Ingredients: Into a blender, add the strained cottage cheese, large egg, egg whites, rolled oats or oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth but avoid overmixing to maintain texture.
- Transfer Batter: Pour the blended batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top for even baking.
- Bake Bread: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool slightly before removing from the pan. Slice and enjoy fresh or toasted.
Notes
- Full-fat cottage cheese provides better moisture and flavor than low-fat versions.
- Using oat flour instead of rolled oats will give a finer texture to the bread.
- Be careful not to overblend the batter to maintain a nice crumb.
- This bread is gluten-free if using pure oats or oat flour certified gluten-free.
- Store bread in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
