Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (100 g) finely grated carrots
  • 1 cup (225 g) cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups (135 g) oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the carrots finely. If they are especially watery, gently squeeze out the excess moisture.
  3. Blend the cottage cheese and eggs until mostly smooth.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the oat flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt and black pepper.
  5. Fold in the grated carrots, optional Parmesan and chia seeds.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the center is fully set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out without wet batter.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack.
  9. Allow it to cool completely before slicing for a firmer texture.
