Sweet Cottage Cheese Bread (Gluten-Free & High Protein)
Video
Ingredients
- 300 g cottage cheese
- 3 eggs
- 160 g oats
- 150 g raisins
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20 x 10 cm (8 x 4 inches) loaf tin with baking paper.
- In a food processor, add the wet ingredients — cottage cheese and eggs — and blend until silky smooth.
- Next, add the dry ingredients: oats, raisins, baking powder, and cinnamon. Pulse a few times only — you want everything just combined and the oats roughly chopped, not fully blended.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and sprinkle a handful of oats on top. This adds a lovely texture and helps prevent the top from overcooking.
- Bake for about 40 minutes, until golden and set in the centre.
- Once baked, let it rest in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. The texture firms up beautifully as it cools — so don’t rush this part!
Notes
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free (if using certified GF oats), refined sugar-free, and packed with over 8g of protein per slice.
- It’s sweetened entirely with raisins, so there's no need for added sugar or sweeteners.
- Rolled oats add fibre and texture while cottage cheese keeps it moist and high in protein.
- The batter is made in minutes using a food processor, making it ideal for quick, fuss-free baking.
- Let the loaf cool completely before slicing—this helps it hold together perfectly for clean, firm slices.
