Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9x5-inch baking pan (metal is best) with nonstick spray.
Add the cottage cheese, eggs, and egg whites to a blender. Blend for 1 minute to make a smooth mixture and to aerate the egg whites.
Add the cottage cheese mixture to a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients.
Whisk to gently but thoroughly combine.
Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 24 minutes, then cover very loosely with foil to prevent overbrowning. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
Run a knife around the edges of the bread to loosen it from the pan and carefully turn out onto a wire rack. Let cool completely, slice, and serve.

Notes

Once cooled, store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
You can also freeze the sliced bread in a freezer bag with as much air removed as possible for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or toast on a low temperature.
Be sure to use fresh, active baking powder.
Gluten-free: Substitute cup-for-cup gluten-free flour in place of the wheat flour.
Serve plain or toasted, topped with butter, jam, nut butter, or cream cheese.
