INGREDIENTS You Need
Let’s talk about what makes my Fluffy Keto Cottage Cheese Bread so dang delicious. The ingredient list is all about bold flavors that actually work together to create a soft, airy loaf with keto-friendly magic. Here’s what you need:
- 1 ½ cups full-fat cottage cheese (You can grab this during your normal grocery run—no specialty store needed!)
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup almond flour (If you don’t have almond flour, I’ve used coconut flour in a pinch—just adjust to ⅓ cup, because coconut flour soaks up moisture differently!)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder (This is my Fluffy Keto Cottage Cheese Bread secret that takes it from good to incredible!)
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp melted butter or olive oil (For that rich, tender crumb)
Now, I love adding an extra pinch of herbs like rosemary or thyme to my loaf for a cozy, herbaceous kick. Cottage cheese baking is all about balancing moisture and texture, and this combo nails it every time.
If you’re pressed for time on busy weeknights, grab cottage cheese that’s already well-drained or use Greek yogurt as a swap—both keep your bread fluffy and satisfying. Once baked, keep your bread in an airtight container to hold on to that fresh softness for up to 4 days. And yes, it freezes well! Just pop slices in the toaster before serving for that fresh-baked vibe.

Let’s Make Some!
Alright, fellow food lovers, this is my favorite part of making Fluffy Keto Cottage Cheese Bread—where the delicious magic happens! Follow along for a step-by-step flavor adventure that usually takes me about 30 minutes from start to finish.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a small loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy bread removal. This bread is forgiving, so no stress here!
- The wet mix magic: In a large bowl, whisk your eggs until they get slightly fluffy. Add your full-fat cottage cheese and melted butter or olive oil, then mix until well combined. Your mixture will look creamy and dreamy at this point—this is where the magic starts happening!
- Dry ingredients go in: Stir in almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Gently fold everything together until just combined. Don’t overwork it—keep things light to keep your Fluffy Keto Cottage Cheese Bread airy.
- Pour it in: Transfer the batter into your loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Your kitchen should smell incredible right now from that garlic and melting butter.
- Bake time! Pop it in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes. At about 20 minutes, peek in: the top should be golden brown and springy to the touch. If it looks too wet, give it a few more minutes. Don’t worry if your bread cracks a bit on top—that’s just proof it’s fluffy inside!
- Cool and slice: Let your bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. It’s tempting to slice it warm, but cooling helps it firm up beautifully.
One time, I got impatient and sliced my Fluffy Keto Cottage Cheese Bread right out of the oven—still delicious but a bit crumbly. Lesson learned: patience is a flavor superpower!
