Note
  • Why Is This Bread High in Protein? The main sources of protein in this bread are 500 g of low-fat cottage cheese and 3 eggs. Together, they provide a good amount of protein compared with many traditional homemade breads. Oats add additional protein and fiber, making this bread a more filling and satisfying choice for breakfast or a snack.
  • For the best texture, allow the bread to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Squeezing the zucchini is not necessary for this recipe, as the moisture helps keep the bread soft.
  • Use low-fat cottage cheese if you want to keep the recipe higher in protein while keeping the fat content lower.
  • Add herbs, garlic, chili flakes, or your favorite spices for extra flavor.
  • Sesame seeds add a little crunch and extra flavor to the crust.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
