Why I Love This Cottage Cheese Bread

I love this cottage cheese bread because it tastes like the soft, fresh bakery buns I always crave.

It is surprisingly easy to make, and the combination of oat flour and cottage cheese gives it a fluffy texture and a nice protein boost.

These buns taste amazing warm from the oven with a bit of melted butter, but they are also perfect for sandwiches or packing for lunch.

Since discovering this recipe, regular store-bought gluten-free bread no longer appeals to me.

It really is that good!

I also love that they actually hold together when I make a sandwich. No weird gummy texture, no falling apart. Just soft, satisfying bread that works for breakfast, lunch, or a quick snack.

Making these cottage cheese buns is super simple. You probably have most of these ingredients already.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Step-by-Step: How to Make This High-Protein Cottage Cheese Bread 

This high-protein cottage cheese bread comes together fast with just a few simple steps. Blend, mix, shape, and bake—that’s it! You’ll have soft, fluffy buns ready in no time. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Blend the Cottage Cheese

Pour your cottage cheese into a blender or food processor. Blend until it’s completely smooth. This makes sure your buns have a soft, even texture instead of little curds throughout

Step 2: Mix in the Egg

Pour the blended cottage cheese into a bowl. Crack in 1 egg and stir well. This helps bind everything together, so the buns don’t fall apart.

Step 3: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine oat flour, almond flour, parmesan cheese, baking powder, and salt. Give it a good stir so everything is evenly mixed. This is what gives the buns structure and flavor.

Step 4: Combine Everything

Now, pour the blended cottage cheese into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix everything together. At first, it might seem a little sticky, but keep stirring until you get a moldable dough. 

Note: If it feels too wet, let it sit for a minute—oat flour absorbs liquid quickly.

Step 4: Shape the Buns

Scoop out portions of dough and gently shape them into buns. They don’t have to be perfect! Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper so they don’t stick.

Step 5: Add Some Extra Flavor

Brush the tops with olive oil or melted butter. This helps them turn golden brown while baking. 

Tip: For a little crunch, sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Step 6: Bake Until Golden

Pop the tray into a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and slightly firm to the touch. Your kitchen will smell amazing!

Step 7: Let Them Cool (If You Can Wait)

Once they’re done, take them out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If you slice them too soon, they might be too soft inside. But honestly, they’re so good warm, it’s hard to resist.

Now, enjoy! Use these buns for sandwiches, or burgers, or just eat them plain with a little butter. Once you try them, you’ll never go back to store-bought bread!

How I Use These Buns

For me, these oat cottage cheese bread buns are a game-changer. I love using them for quick, high-protein sandwiches, especially when I need something filling but light. They toast up beautifully too—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. A little butter, maybe some honey? So good.

Sometimes, I turn them into mini pizzas. A spoonful of sauce, some cheese, or whatever toppings I have in the fridge. A few minutes in the oven, and they come out warm and melty. I’ve even used them as burger buns or just as a side with soup.

I always make a batch to have on hand because they work for so many meals. Plus, they actually taste good, which is rare for gluten-free bread.
