4 Ingredient Healthy Oat Bread
This healthy oat bread doesn't contain any yeast, wheat flour, added sugar, butter or oil. It is easy to make and the bread comes out very soft and moist.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (440 g) cottage cheese, 4% milkfat, see note before starting
- 2 large eggs + 4 large egg whites, the 4 large egg whites can be substituted with 3/4 cup liquid egg whites
- 3 3/4 cups (400 g) oat flour
- 1 tbsp (11 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 mixing bowl, add oat flour and baking powder. Stir to combine.
- Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until everything is evenly mixed and you have a thick batter. Make sure there are no pockets of oat flour left unmixed in the batter.
- Transfer the mixture to your prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. If desired you can sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of rolled oats over the surface for garnish.
- Bake bread for about 60-70 minutes, or until bread is golden brown and cooked. Baking time can vary a lot depending on your loaf pan, how much moisture is in your cottage cheese, etc. This is a very moist bread so if you aren't sure if the bread is done, it is better to bake it a little longer. When you press lightly on the bread surface, it should bounce back and not sink in.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing. Store any uneaten bread in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Cottage cheese note: Cottage cheese adds a lot of moisture to this bread so it is important to use 4% milkfat cottage cheese and one that is not low protein. You want a cottage cheese with at least 13 grams of protein per 1/2 cup (113 g) serving. I found that low fat cottage cheese is too watery to work with this recipe. In addition, avoid any brands of cottage cheese that have low protein or are watery.
- I tested this bread with Amazon Grocery cottage cheese 4%* and Whole Foods 365 Organic cottage cheese 4%.*
- I used Whole Foods 365 aluminum free baking powder.* Some other brands that making aluminum free baking powder are Argo and Bob's Red Mill.
