  • Category: Bread
  • Method: Baking
  • Cuisine: American
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp honey or sugar (optional, for light sweetness)
  • Butter or oil (for greasing the pan)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or oil.
  2. In a large bowl, mix cottage cheese, eggs, and sweetener (if using) until smooth.
  3. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined—do not overmix.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  5. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Add chopped herbs like chives or rosemary for a savory variation.
  • Swap half the flour with whole wheat for a heartier texture.
  • Mix in shredded cheese (like cheddar or parmesan) for a cheesy twist.
  • For muffins, use a greased muffin tin and bake for 20–25 minutes.
  • Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for a GF version (texture will be slightly denser).
