🍞 Carnivore Bread – High Protein, Low Carb, Full Flavor
“All gains, no guilt.” A flourless, meaty bread that satisfies your hunger and powers your day!
📝 Description
This Carnivore Bread is everything you need on a low-carb or keto diet: high in protein, rich in healthy fats, and absolutely flour-free. Made from simple ingredients like eggs, cottage cheese, pork panko, and butter, it has a moist texture and savory flavor. Great for sandwiches, toasts, or just enjoying solo with a slab of butter or melted cheese.
🧈 Ingredients (Makes 1 loaf)
- 1 stick butter, melted (½ cup)
- 1½ cups cottage cheese
- 2 cups pork panko (crushed pork rinds)
- 12 eggs (preferably room temp)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
- In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese and eggs until completely smooth.
- Slowly stream in melted butter and blend again until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir in the pork panko until fully incorporated.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely in the pan, then remove and slice.
🧠 Notes
- Texture is like dense cornbread or moist quick bread.
- Blending cottage cheese and eggs ensures a smoother, less “chunky” result.
- Letting the bread cool before slicing helps it firm up and slice cleanly.
- For a more fluffy texture, separate eggs and whip whites before folding in.
💡 Tips
- Add 1 tsp baking powder (if tolerated on your diet) for extra lift.
- Want a “cheesier” version? Stir in ½ cup shredded cheddar or Parmesan.
- Great for meal prep: slice and freeze individually.
- Toast slices for better texture and flavor reactivation.
- Top with butter, egg salad, deli meats, or carnivore gravy for next-level meals.

❓ Q&A
Q: Can I substitute pork panko?
A: Yes! You can grind pork rinds yourself or use a mix of ground cooked bacon or crispy chicken skin crumbs.
Q: Can I use ricotta instead of cottage cheese?
A: Yes, but it will make the bread slightly denser and richer. Blend well for smoothness.
Q: Does it taste eggy?
A: Mildly. Blending and seasoning (if your diet allows salt) helps reduce the egg flavor.
Q: How do I store it?
A: Store in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 1 month. Toast to reheat.
Q: Can I make it in muffin form?
A: Absolutely! Bake at 350°F for 18–22 minutes in a greased muffin tin
