Ingredients

2⅓ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups cottage cheese strained
1 tablespoon ground flax seed
5 medium eggs or 4 large eggs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9 x 5-inch bread pan.
In your food processor add the 2⅓ cups old-fashioned rolled oats and process until mostly fine.
Add the 2 cups cottage cheese (strained), 1 tablespoon ground flax seed, 5 medium eggs, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 3/4 teaspoon fine kosher salt. Process until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the mixture into your prepared loaf pan and bake for around 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Allow the bread to completely cool on a cooling rack before slicing.

Notes

Drain any excess liquid from the cottage cheese before using. Both 2% and 4% cottage cheese work.
Process the rolled oats until mostly fine before adding the other ingredients.
Avoid over-processing the batter. Blend just until combined and mostly smooth.
Use a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan for the recommended baking time.
If the top starts browning before the center is cooked, loosely cover it with foil.
Check that the center is fully baked before removing the loaf from the oven.
Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze individual slices for up to 3 months for best quality.
