This is a microwave keto bread that looks and tastes like an English Muffin and it’s made in less than 2 minutes!

Cottage Cheese Bread Recipe
If you happen to be on tik tok and have seen the 2-ingredient cottage cheese bread, you will see it uses just liquid egg whites and cottage cheese and I’ve tried it and it doesn’t taste good at all.
Some other cottage cheese bread recipes actually use bread flour or all purpose flour and are NOT keto-friendly bread or gluten free.
Always check the ingredients on tiktok- make the ones that don’t include regular refined flours and sugar because there are a ton of content creators who care nothing about using quality ingredients for a keto diet and are just looking for a quick viral video for themselves.
I created a couple of cottage cheese breads that make an entire loaf and do require some specific ingredients like egg white protein powder and whey protein.
Many of you mentioned how you couldn’t make these breads with such expensive ingredients and being on a tight budget so I set out to create a quick keto bread recipe that doesn’t use either of those ingredients.
Why You Will Love this Quick Bread
The best thing about this delicious bread is that it doesn’t require any special ingredients or kitchen gadgets to make! Simple ingredients that you can find in your local grocery store.
All you need is a small bowl to stir the ingredients together, no blender or mixer or loaf pan needed. Simply grease two small ramekins or microwave-safe bowl with coconut oil, avocado oil or olive oil spray and divide the batter between the two dishes.
This has the best texture and for just 4 grams of carbs, it’s a great recipe for anyone looking for the perfect low carb bread that’s literally fool proof!
No eggy taste as it only needs 1 large egg! No psyllium husk powder, no xanthan gum, no gelatin and it still makes a fluffy bread!
Best Keto Bread Recipe
Making a ketogenic diet or low carb lifestyle sustainable means being able to enjoy a low carb bread recipe every now and then so you don’t feel deprived.
When you can make a savory quick bread that tastes amazing but also has a good amount of protein and healthy fats, you will feel satiated and satisfied.
That’s what living this as a lifestyle means to me. Being able to enjoy the savory taste of keto toast but without the high carb count.
Can I swap the cottage cheese?
If you really don’t want to try using cottage cheese, you could swap it with ricotta cheese but please note, you will add more fat, more calories and more carbs, but it’s just about the same as far as protein.
If you don’t care about the amount of protein, you could swap the cottage cheese with heavy cream.
I have not tested this recipe swapping cottage cheese with either cream cheese or sour cream.
Can I swap the powdered peanut butter?
Yes you can swap the powdered peanut butter with regular no sugar added peanut butter. I’ve added the nutritional information in the recipe card below if you use that instead.
You can also swap with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a nut free option.
Here’s a video of my Nut Free 90 second Cottage Cheese Bread.
Can I replace the almond flour?
Yes if you can’t use almond flour due to a tree nut allergy, you can swap it with sunflower seed meal. I do not recommend using coconut flour for this microwave bread as it will be strong in flavor and may be a bit too sweet as well.
Can I make this egg free?
I have not tested an egg substitute for this recipe but I think since it’s just one egg, that you could easily replace it to make an egg-free keto bread.
NEED DAIRY FREE BREAD?
If you need dairy free this is the best high protein low-carb cloud bread recipe.
NEED LOWEST FAT BREAD?
This cottage cheese bread with egg white protein powder is the lowest in fat and the highest in protein of all the loaves of bread recipes I have. It also needs dried whole egg powder instead of fresh eggs.
How to Store
After cooking and allowing the bread to cool, you can store in an airtight container in the fridge until you are ready to slice and toast it. Keeps well for up to 3 days in the fridge or freezer for up to 3 months.

How long and what temp if cooking in oven? Thanks!
Hi Sher,
It’s listed in the printable recipe card, right under the microwave directions, Oven Directions 350 for 8-10 min.
Could you just leave the peanut butter out?
I’ve not tested that myself to say for sure.
can’t wait to try! wondering if you use just 2tbsp plain peanut butter powder or the powder mixed mix with water?
Hi Joyce, That’s what I used is plain no sugar added peanut butter powder, it’s linked right in the recipe card.
