Homemade Seed Bread with Cottage Cheese (High-Protein & Easy!)

Homemade Seed Bread with Cottage Cheese

If you’re someone who loves having healthy snacks ready to go — especially when life gets busy — this homemade seed bread is about to become one of your kitchen staples. It’s incredibly simple to make, nutrient-dense, and tastes amazing with both sweet and savory toppings.

What I love most about this bread is how real the ingredients are — just seeds, oats, cottage cheese, and a couple of basics you likely already have. No kneading, no yeast, no long rise times. Just mix, bake, slice, and enjoy.

It’s a great breakfast option (especially toasted!), but I also love having a slice as a mid-day snack because it keeps me full and energized — not sleepy. The cottage cheese gives it natural protein, while the variety of seeds adds healthy fats and fiber that help support steady energy. And you can totally customize the seed mix depending on what you like or what you already have.

Serving Ideas

This bread is incredibly versatile. Some of my favorite ways to enjoy it:

• Toasted with avocado + a sprinkle of chili flakes

• Spread with hummus and topped with cucumber slices

• With a fried egg on top for a quick breakfast

• A swipe of natural peanut butter and banana for something sweet

• Simply plain, still warm, fresh from the oven
