Ingredients
- 400 g (about 1 3/4 cups) cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 270 g (3 cups) rolled oats
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 55 g (1/3 cup) raisins
- 55 g (1/3 cup) pumpkin seeds
- 55 g (1/3 cup) sunflower seeds
- 55 g (1/3 cup) chia seeds
- 8 cm sprig of rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the ovenPreheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix the cottage cheese and eggsIn a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add the dry ingredientsAdd the rolled oats, flaxseed, raisins, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, chopped rosemary, cinnamon, and baking powder into the bowl. Mix gently until everything is just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the bread’s texture light.
- Shape the loafShape the mixture into a bread loaf on your prepared baking tray. For an extra touch, sprinkle some oats and cinnamon on top (optional).
- BakePlace the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through. Insert a toothpick into the centre if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
- Cool and sliceAllow the bread to cool completely for about 1 hour before slicing. This ensures a firm texture. Then, slice and enjoy!
