Cottage cheese is definitely having a "moment." I've seen recipes using it in all sorts of things from ice cream to pancakes. The goal is to add protein to whatever it is you're making. Okay. I decided to try this "healthier" version of pumpkin bread (if anything with a cup of sugar and 1/3 cup of maple syrup can be considered healthy.). The recipe is from RachLMansfield but I made a few tweaks. I substituted pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon and I used gluten-free flour. It was very tasty and incredibly moist. I can see possibly adding chopped nuts, raisins or cranberries. Next time. It was gone in a flash!
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup cottage cheese or Greek yogurt
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups regular flour or gluten-free
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoon cinnamon or substitute pumpkin pie spice
Preheat oven to 325 Degrees.
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper creating a “sling” and spray with cooking spray.
Blend melted, cooled butter, sugar, eggs, pumpkin, vanilla, cottage cheese or yogurt and maple syrup.
Blend in flour, cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice) and baking soda. Mix well.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes (time may vary based on your oven.)
Cool before serving.
A Berry Suspicious Death is now out!
Weddings are murder in the new Cranberry Cove Mystery from USA Today bestselling author Peg Cochran!
The
cranberry bogs at Sassamanash Farms have never looked more festive than
when Monica’s half-brother celebrates his wedding there. It’s a
genuinely joyous occasion, and even greeting a strange assortment of
guests and witnessing a heated argument can’t spoil Monica’s mood. But
that all changes when one of the guests is found murdered at the
reception—and then one of Monica’s employees is accused of doing the
deed to get his hands on the dead woman’s money.
It doesn’t take
long for Monica to discover that the victim had amassed her fortune by
marrying a very wealthy—and very ill—older man. What’s more, the old
man’s daughters despised the scheming, gold-digging woman, and thought
the inheritance money should have been theirs. That seems like motive
enough for murder, but Monica suspects there’s more to this case than
simple greed. With her employee in hot water and time running out,
Monica will have to act fast to catch the killer, before a case that
started with a family wedding ends with her own funeral . ..

I think I'd go with small curd cottage cheese or blend it first to avoid cheesy lumps in the bread.
