Easy Cottage Cheese Seed Bread (5 Ingredients)
This seed bread recipe is really easy to make in one bowl with only 5 simple ingredients! Cottage cheese, eggs and seeds give it that extra protein we need at breakfast or for a snack. The oats add in some fiber. All together this really is a yummy little treat! My family really enjoyed it!
IF you like this recipe, you will love my FLOURLESS COTTAGE CHEESE BREAD or my HEALTHIER COTTAGE CHEESE BANANA BREAD. Adding cottage cheese to your baked recipes will increase your protein intake for the day.
You can even make this in a loaf pan! Bake for 1 hour though or until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not drain the liquid from your cottage cheese! You can make a similar bread to this with my Greek Yogurt Seed Bread.

I make this recipe every week. Every other day I make a protein shake for myself. I always want somthing to chew while drinking. This recipe takes the cake. It is perfect. Since I keep it in the fridge, I actually slice 2 pieces and toast them. They are the best. My son came to visit at Christmas and tried it and ate most of mine so I made anoather to share with him. He took the recipe home with him. (along with the rest of the bread)
Hi Gwen, I’m so glad you enjoyed it with your son!! Thanks for the kind feedback!
This is a firm favourite! I add a little yeast flake action sometimes and almonds to make it nice and crunchy…. I throw in different extras each time although the recipe doesn’t need it- it’s great as is. Love this!

HI Lauren, thanks so much for trying out the recipe!
LOVE your recipes Stella! is it possible to use ground oat flour and sub yogurt for this recipe? thank you!
This was absolutely delicious !! I added everything bagel seasoning to the top for some extra pizazz!! Beyond yum 😋
Hi Eve, Thank you for trying the recipe! I LOVE the tip to use Everything Bagel Seasoning! Thanks for sharing!
This looks great! Do you use whole flaxseeds or ground?
I used ground flax seeds and it worked well! I also had sunflower seeds in my pantry and added those in addition to the pumpkin seeds!
Most nutritionists advise against consuming whole flax seeds. They are dangerous for many people with various conditions like IBS. Flaxseeds should be ground. Chia seeds would be a good substitute. I am intrigued enough to make this recipe as modified.
Sounds great! Could I substitute chia seeds for the flax seeds? Only because that’s what I have on hand.
Thanks for the great recipes🧡
Hi Lori, I’m so glad you like the recipe! It should work here, although i havent tried it myself!
Can we substitute almond flour for the oats?
Hi Mia, I haven’t tried it myself but it could work here!
