4 Ingredient Keto Cottage Cheese Bread

This cottage cheese bread is high protein, low carb, and keto-friendly. It only needs 4 ingredients and just a few minutes to prepare. The bread is sturdy enough for toasting or making sandwiches.

This bread loaf is so quick and easy to prepare. I like toasting it and adding a spread, but it can also be used to make small sandwiches.

Ingredients

• Cottage cheese: This recipe works best with 4% cottage cheese. Low fat cottage cheese tends to be more watery and will add too much moisture to the bread.
• Eggs: A combination of eggs and egg whites help provide the structure for this bread.
• Almond flour: Almond flour acts as the low carb flour substitute for this bread.
• Baking powder: Make sure to use aluminum-free baking powder to prevent any potential metallic aftertaste. Baking powder helps the bread rise.

How to Make Keto Cottage Cheese Bread

• The cottage cheese and eggs are mixed in a blender until smooth.
• The mixture is poured into a mixing bowl and mixed together with the dry ingredients.
• Transfer the batter to your prepared loaf pan and bake until done.
• Let bread cool fully before cutting and serving.

Expert Tips

• Make sure to only blend the cottage cheese and eggs in the blender. Do not attempt to mix all of the bread batter in a blender. This causes the batter to be overworked and it won’t bake evenly, resulting in large gaps and holes in the bread as it bakes.
• I recommend using aluminum free baking powder because this bread uses a larger amount of baking powder and using aluminum free will prevent any potential metallic aftertaste.
• The 4 large egg whites can be substituted with 3/4 cup liquid egg whites.
• Try to choose a cottage cheese that is not watery. Some brands are more watery and that will add too much liquid to the recipe.

Ingredients

• 2 cups (440 g) cottage cheese, 4% milkfat see note before starting
• 2 large eggs + 4 large egg whites
• 4 cups (453 g) superfine blanched almond flour
• 1 tbsp (13 g) aluminum free baking powder

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
• Blend the cottage cheese, eggs and egg whites in a blender until smooth.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour and baking powder until evenly combined. Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the dry ingredients and stir/fold with a spatula everything is evenly mixed and you have a thick batter. It is important to mix the batter by hand and not try to add all the ingredients into the blender. Doing so will overwork the batter and cause uneven baking and large holes in your bread.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface.
• Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The surface should also be a dark golden brown and if you apply pressure to the surface, it should bounce back.
• Let bread cool completely before slicing. Bread can be toasted before eating. Uneaten bread should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

• Egg note: 4 large egg whites can be substituted with 3/4 cup liquid egg whites. We do recommend using 2 large eggs plus 4 large egg whites for this recipe rather than 4 large eggs. The texture of the bread is much better with the higher ratio of egg whites.
• Cottage cheese note: Make sure to choose a cottage cheese brand that is not watery. A watery cottage cheese will add too much liquid to your bread. Also avoid low fat cottage cheese which tends to be more watery. I made this bread with Amazon Grocery cottage cheese.* Some other thick/not watery brands of cottage cheese I like to work with are Good Culture and Whole Foods.
• I used Whole Foods 365 aluminum free baking powder.* Some other brands that make aluminum free baking powder are Argo and Bob's Red Mill.
