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.
- Strain your cottage cheese of its liquid as best you can and discard the liquid.
- 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.

I had to bake this for much longer as well as others. Pretty dense and moist like a breakfast bread. I toasted it in a little lemon oil in a pan. It tasted like French toast. Better than French toast!
Hi K, YES, glad you liked it and i also toasted my slices and they gave off a french toast vibe as well!
It was very delicious and super easy. We had it with vegetable soup this evening, but can’t wait for breakfast tomorrow! I took a beautiful pic but couldnt figure out how to post it here.
Loved it!
Hi Sandi, Sounds delicious with the soup too! Thanks for trying it !!
I made into muffins using light spelt flour and just ate 3 lol. It reminds me of a brioche which made me think if I could make into a healthier version of mini Easter bread minus the braid…also wondering if you think quick cook oats would work (gotta huge bag at Costco I’m still trying to use up).
Hi Pamela, thanks so much for sharing your feedback with everyone! Glad you enjoyed the loaf!
I’m wondering if I can add a scoop of unflavored protein powder?
should work out great!!
This recipe was perfection. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I made the recipe exactly according to your instructions, and it worked out great for me.
Hi Tracy, I’m so happy you liked it! Thanks for trying it and your kind words!!
I have already made this recipe again and this time I added several scoops of a pleasant tasting chocolate protein powder I use and some vanilla and cinnamon and this tasted very reminiscent of French toast with the lovely springy texture! Thank you again for sharing your amazing recipes – – I have already passed you along to other friends who enjoy cooking and they are also trying your delicious recipes. You are a treasure 🙂❤️
Hi Kathleen, I truly appreciate you sharing my page with your loved ones! Thank you so much!!!
Oh my gosh!!! This bread is fantabulous!! I’m not even gf but I thought it sounded so clean and simple yet packed with protein, so I’d give it a go! I love ❤️ it warmed with maple syrup. I make this ALL the time now!
Hi Bonnie, That’s so awesome i’m happy it was a winner for you!! Thanks for the glowing reveiew!
Saw the video, had to make, and the bread did not disappoint. Yum!!! With butter and honey 🤤 I tried to not eat the whole loaf today.
Hi Mary, Thank you so much for creating the loaf!!
Excellent bread. Do try the recipe. 👍🏻
HI Glenda, glad you liked it – thank you!
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!
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!
Is it possible to make it with egg whites only? I would use 6 egg whites to compensate for the missing yolks
There is a recipe VERY similar to this that I make waffles with. We love it. So trying this now in “loaf”!
Can you use fat free cottage cheese?
Hi Arabeth, i havent tried it but it should work
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 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 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!!
Hi fellow WW’er! Yes, I tracked it as written and got 4 pps as well. 8 NICE size servings per loaf! I nuke mine with a tsp of maple syrup and it makes a great b’fast with coffee!
Hey, how many gram is in one cup?So how many grams of oats do I need?
HI Gina, it has been updated – so sorry for any confusion!
