Cottage cheese has become a favourite in healthy eating and social media— and for good reason. This high-protein, low-carb dairy product is perfect for anyone looking to boost their nutrition without compromising on taste or convenience.
Packed with protein and essential nutrients like calcium, cottage cheese supports muscle health and bone strength. It’s also incredibly versatile: great for breakfasts, snacks, and even baking.

Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1 – Add all the ingredients to a food processor. Step 2 – Blitz until well combined but dont over mix! Step 3 – Pout into a loaf tin. Step 4 – Sprinkle some optional toppings. Step 5 – Bake and when it is ready let it cool down completely.
Tips
- Don’t overmix: Just pulse until the ingredients are combined and the oats are broken down. Overmixing will make the bread dense.
- Let it cool: Be patient and let it cool completely before slicing to avoid a gummy texture.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for best flavour and texture.
Swaps
Oats: I used rolled oats but regular flour should also work (I haven’t tried myself)
Olive oil: I have used extra-virgin olive oil but you can swap with avocado oil or any neutral oil.
Cottage cheese: Works best with full-fat for flavour and texture but low-fat also works.
Toppings: Add seeds, chopped nuts or herbs on top before baking for extra crunch and flavour.
Storage
Room temperature: Store the bread wrapped in a clean tea towel or in a bread box for up to 2 days.
Fridge: Keep in an airtight container or wrapped in cling film for up to 4 days.
Freezer: Slice the bread and freeze in a zip-lock bag for up to 3 months. Defrost slices at room temperature or toast directly from frozen.
