Pain au fromage cottage

Ingrédients

• 24 ounces full-fat cottage cheese ((about 2 1/4 cups))
• 2 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
• 5 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar ((or keto sweetener))
• 3/4 teaspoon salt

Préparation

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Set out a 9 x 5 inch bread pan. Trim a piece of parchment paper to fit across the bottom and long sides of the pan. Press the parchment paper down into the pan, and fold the paper over the sides. Use 1 tablespoon of olive oil to grease the short sides of the pan to hold the paper in place.

2. 2

   Set out a large food processor. Place the cottage cheese, rolled oats, eggs, remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, baking powder, sugar, and salt in the food processor. Purée until the oats are mostly ground and the mixture is smooth.

3. 3

   Pour the bread mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle an additional teaspoon of oats over the top of the bread if desired.

4. 4

   Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted deep into the bread comes out clean. If the top starts getting too dark in the last 10 to 15 minutes, cover it loosely with foil.

5. 5

   Allow the bread to cool for at least 10 minutes in the pan. Then use the sides of the paper to gently lift the loaf out of the pan. Cool to room temperature before cutting to serve.
