Flourless Cottage Cheese Bread (5 Ingredients)
This loaf is simple, healthy and protein packed.
Cottage cheese is really having its moment right now and I figured its the perfect ingredient to add to a bread. Of course I try to keep mine healthy, sugar less and add in more nutrients when possible so I created this easy to make flourless loaf.
You can pulse this smooth in a blender or food processor or just mix the ingredients in a bowl. If you don’t like oats, you can use all purpose flour, almond flour, rice flour or bread flour but add in about 1 cup + 3 tablespoons of any flour you may use. We love to top ours with butter, honey and cinnamon!

Flourless Cottage Cheese Bread Loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1½ cups rolled oats
- 4 eggs
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 1 tbs baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350℉ Line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Add all the ingredients to your blender and pulse until mostly smooth. Pour the batter into your pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. I loosely covered mine with foil for the last 15 minutes because it was getting too tan on top.
- Allow to set in the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes prior to slicing.
Notes
Store on your counter in an airtight container or in your fridge for up to 5 days.
You can also just mix this in a bowl if you don’t have a blender.
Almond flour or all purpose flour can be subbed for the oats but decrease the amount to 1 cup + 3 tablespoons of flour.

Does recipe make one o loaf?
The nutrition count is for the loaf or a slice?
What type of oats, rolled or quick oats??
Please let me know
Thank you
Maria
Hi Maria, the recipe is for one loaf of bread. The Nutrional Info is for one slice of the bread. My loaf created 8 slices of bread. I used rolled oats aka old fashioned oats in this recipe. ENJOY!
Are the measurements the same for the other flours if you don’t use whole oats?
Hi Madelyn,
I would use 1 cup + 3 tbs flour. Batter should be on the thick side. So add more flour if that’s not enough.
Hi do you really need 4 eggs? I’m wondering if 4 will taste too eggy.
Hi Nancy, I did not notice any eggy taste but you can definitely try it with 3 eggs – should work, but i cannot say for certain since I haven’t tried it that way. I added them for the protein.
Can you add blueberries and maybe some candied ginger?
Hi Susan, absolutely yes! Perfect add ins!
can this be cooked in the airfryer/oven and what temp and time?
Hi Maree, yes, i cooked mine in my mini countertop convection oven. Bake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Enjoy!
Delicious! I added a banana for sweetness.
HI Bonnie, glad you liked it and thanks so much for sharing your feedback!
Any particular fat of cottage cheese?
Hi Laura, I used Organic Valley brand 4% fat cottage cheese
Delish and simple!! Loved it and shared it with a few people already.
Hi Jennifer, glad you liked it! Thanks for the rating!
Hi! Is it possible to use plain yogurt or plain Greek yogurt instead of the cottage cheese? TIA
Hi Aida, I haven’t tried it but it should work!
Hi I just made this and it is very very eggy in taste. If I make it again I would put three eggs. Also by blender did you mean mixer. I used a blender but next time would probably use a mixer. Thanks.
Hi Judith, I’m so sorry this recipe wasn’t to your liking.
I thought it was too eggy as well so would try three eggs next time. Mine also collapsed after taking out of the oven and despite being baked for more than 40min and the skewer coming out dry, it was quite “wet” inside, a bit like the consistency of cheesecake. It’s made from cheese so perhaps that is what it is meant to be like but it wasn’t bread-like that’s for sure.
very tasty bread. mine fell really fast, but didn’t affect the taste.
Just made this.. Great taste but it came out soggy like the cottage cheese sank to bottom.. I baked it for almost 55 mins???
HI Stella, I’m sorry, it does have a moist texture. You can toast each slice in a pan or oven as your consume it..!
Very good. I firmed it up by slicing it and frying in a nonstick pan till browned on both sides.
Hi Darlette, Sounds amazing to me! Thanks for trying the recipe out!
Looks delicious can you sub fat free cottage cheese?
Hi dEs, I’m not sure but it should work in my opinion!
I baked my batter in a muffin tin, it was beautiful! At 35 minutes they were all puffed up like Yorkshire pudding and golden brown!
Hi Susan, that’s a great idea!! Thanks for sharing with us!
I baked my loaf an extra 15 minutes and it still was a little too wet/soft for my taste. But my son who is celiac loved it so thank you. I’m wondering if a scoop of protein powder would help thicken it up? I pan fried a slice with a little butter and added a dash of cinnamon, it almost resembled French toast.
Hi Boni, I’m sorry you didn’t love the bread… Glad you liked the slices toasted though!
I always make a recipe as written the first time and really liked it! I definitely think the addition of fruit, cinnamon, maybe some nuts would give this a bit more depth and be a nice breakfast bread. Could even make it savory with some cheese and sautéed veggies. I would try one less egg but add nutritional yeast to amp up the protein. I tracked it as a WW recipe and it came out at 4 points per slice. Will make this again. Thanks!
HI Jiggy, glad you liked the loaf! And yes, this bread definitely has the versatility to go sweet or savory! Thank you for the feedback!!
I made this and each end piece was wonderful the rest was a gooey mass. I could not bake it long enough for it to actually bake it in the middle at all. Wonderful idea but it just didn’t work for me.
Hi Catherine, I’m so sorry it didnt work out for you! What I heard from other peopel with the same issue is that they sliced the loaf as they ate it and toasted the slices in the mini oven or in a pan.
I am definitely trying to eat more protein and miss bread. This is the perfect substitute – – could not believe it would be delicious with just the five ingredients listed, but taste and texture is out of this world! Thank you so much for sharing your website and all your amazing recipes! I have bookmarked at least 30 that I’d like to try. I don’t usually cook a lot but I am trying to eat more real food and more healthfully–so grateful to have found you on Instagram❤️❤️
Hi Kathleen and welcome! Thanks for trying out the loaf recipe and I’m so glad it was a winner for your! Also thanks for the kind feedback!
I love it! Tastes kind of like a pancake and was great with syrup. Actually might try this as a pancake next time!
Hi Teresa, that’s a great idea! Need to try that too!
I made this into muffins and mixed in some shredded parmesan and diced sundried tomato! Very simple and nice protein snack!
Hi J, those muffins sound so good!! Need to try- thank you for the feedback!
