Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 cup rolled oats (or oat flour)
- 1 large egg
- 2 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 6-inch (15 cm) loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- Strain the cottage cheese to remove excess liquid.
- In a blender, combine cottage cheese, rolled oats, egg, egg whites, baking powder, and salt. Blend until smooth, but avoid over-mixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free oats.
- For a low-carb option, swap oats with almond flour or seed flour.
- For extra flavor, add garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs for a savory twist.
- For a sweeter version, mix in cinnamon, nutmeg, or a touch of maple syrup.
- To add crunch, fold in sunflower, chia, or flaxseeds.
