Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit and Texture Enhancer
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 2 tablespoons almond flour (optional for added texture)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) ensuring it reaches the proper temperature before baking for even cooking.
- Blend the Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract; blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh or thawed blueberries and almond flour (if using) into the blended mixture, taking care not to crush the berries to preserve their texture.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking and facilitate easy removal after baking.
- Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the bread turns golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes to set before transferring to a wire rack for complete cooling. Slice and serve once cooled.
Notes
- For a vegan alternative, substitute eggs with 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water per egg, and replace cottage cheese with Greek yogurt or a vegan yogurt option.
- Use raspberries or chopped strawberries instead of blueberries for a different fruity flavor.
- Almond flour is optional but adds a pleasant texture and mild nutty flavor.
- Ensure blueberries are fresh or fully thawed if using frozen to prevent excess moisture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
