It took several attempts to get the consistency just right, but I’m finally happy with this one. The result is a fluffy bread with a unique texture and flavor, perfect for those on a keto diet or low-carb diet.
Each slice has around 7g protein and 3g net carbs.

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Blend the wet ingredients: In a blender or food processor, add the cottage cheese first and blend until smooth. Then, add the eggs and melted coconut oil (or butter). Blend again until everything is well mixed.
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum (if using). Make sure there are no lumps.
- Mix the batter: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until everything is combined. The batter will be thick, which is normal.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top. Bake for 40-50 minutes. To check if it’s done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
- Cool and serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Recipe Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for best results.
- If the batter is too thick, add a little water or liquid egg whites.
- For a savory twist, add some garlic powder or onion powder to the batter.
Ingredient Swaps
- Coconut oil can be replaced with olive oil or melted butter.
- Add sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top of the bread for extra crunch.
- Swap cottage cheese with ricotta cheese for a different flavor profile.
Storage
Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep it in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.

Cottage Cheese Bread Variations
Not all keto breads are created equal! Here’s how this almond flour version compares to the other two cottage cheese bread recipes I’ve shared. Please note, this is my personal opinion:
- Coconut Flour Cottage Cheese Bread (this one): Drier, firmer, and more sliceable. Feels the most like traditional bread, especially if you toast it.
- Almond Flour Cottage Cheese Bread: Rich, soft, and slightly heavier. Great for sandwiches or slathering with butter.
- 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Bread: Light and airy, almost soufflé-like. The easiest one for lazy low-carb days.

A: The bread is done when it turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
