Can I use low-fat cottage cheese instead of full-fat?

You can, but the bread won't be as rich or moist. Full-fat gives you the best flavor and texture. If all you have is low-fat, add 1 tablespoon of melted butter or olive oil to the batter to make up for it.

Why is my keto bread dense or gummy?

This usually happens when the batter isn't blended enough or when there's too much moisture in the cottage cheese. Blend the cottage cheese until it's totally smooth, and drain any excess liquid before measuring if yours looks extra watery.

Can I make this bread without a blender?

Honestly, the blender makes a huge difference. But if you don't have one, push the cottage cheese through a fine mesh sieve first to break up the curds, then whisk everything by hand really well.

How many carbs are in this keto cottage cheese bread?

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, or use a silicone loaf pan.
Pour the cottage cheese into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth with no lumps.
Add the eggs, almond flour, baking powder, and salt to the blender. Blend again until thick and fully combined. The batter should look creamy and pourable.
Scoop the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and sprinkle the sesame seeds over the surface if using.
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack. Wait until fully cool before slicing to help the crumb set properly.

Notes

Blending the cottage cheese until completely smooth is the secret to the right texture. Pre-slice the loaf once cool for easy grab-and-go mornings. Store at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze with parchment between slices for up to 2 months.
