4 Ingredient Keto Cottage Cheese Bread
This Keto Cottage Cheese Bread is soft, hearty, and naturally gluten-free, made with just a few simple ingredients. With no yeast or kneading required, it comes together quickly, making it an easy, high-protein, keto-friendly option for breakfast, low-carb sandwiches, or a wholesome side. It’s even better toasted!
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.
