Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp oat flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder or Italian seasoning (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 eggs

Cheese

  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (folded in after blending)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the breadsticks.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, sea salt, and optional garlic powder or Italian seasoning. Blend all ingredients until the mixture is smooth and thick. Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl.
  3. Fold in Cheese: Gently fold the shredded mozzarella cheese into the batter by hand, ensuring an even distribution without overmixing.
  4. Bake the Breadsticks: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for approximately 35 minutes or until the top turns golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top browns too quickly, tent it lightly with foil for the last 10 to 15 minutes of baking. Optionally, add additional cheese on top in the last 10 minutes to create a cheesy crust.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the breadsticks to cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy!

Notes

  • If allergic to almond or oat flour, substitute with coconut flour but note the texture will change.
  • For a dairy-free version, try using a plant-based cottage cheese alternative and vegan mozzarella.
  • Use fresh spices to enhance flavor; garlic powder and Italian seasoning are optional but recommended.
  • Ensure the batter is thick but smooth; if too runny, add a bit more almond flour.
  • Storing leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge keeps breadsticks fresh for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in the oven or toaster oven for best texture rather than microwave.
