Description
A high-protein, family-friendly bake that brings cinnamon-roll flavor into a simple loaf, perfect for brunch or a cozy snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until mostly smooth.
- In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in batches. Stir gently until the batter is just combined — small streaks of flour are okay.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is lightly golden.
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Slice when slightly cooled and enjoy!
Notes
For a finer crumb, pulse cottage cheese briefly in a food processor. Room-temperature eggs incorporate more evenly.
