Everyone is making cottage cheese bread, so I decided to try it out and make my version of it with a few more added ingredients like rolled oats, ground flax seeds, and a bit of olive oil. This turned out great and better than I expected. Each slice has 10 grams of protein and I love serving it with some cream cheese, a drizzle of honey, or a bit of butter. A delicious flourless bread that will be your go-to bread recipe moving forward. Yummy! 😋

How to make cottage cheese bread

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9 x 5-inch bread pan. Strain the cottage cheese really well and remove all the liquid from it as best as you can.

In your food processor, add the oats and process until mostly fine.

Storage Recommendations

Storing: Allow the bread to cool down before storing it. If you have leftovers it is safe to leave them covered overnight on your kitchen counter. After that, I recommend placing them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 7 days. You can freeze in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months.
Reheating: If the bread is frozen, allow it to thaw overnight in the fridge first before reheating. To reheat, simply use the microwave and reheat at 20-second increments until heated through.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add seeds to it?

You sure can. If you want to add more herbs and seeds you can. Try anise seeds, poppy seeds, or rosemary.

Do I have to use full-fat cottage cheese?

No. You can use lite cottage cheese to make this recipe. A lot of times I use 2% Milk Fat.

Can I use quick oats instead?

Yes. You can substitute the rolled oats with quick oats. I recommend you use 2 cups instead of 2 and 1/4 cup.
