Cottage Cheese Strawberry Crumb Bread
This soft strawberry bread bakes up moist and tender with a sweet cinnamon crumb topping. It is a cozy treat worth trying.
Ingredients
For The Bread
- 1 cup Small Curd Cottage Cheese (I always buy this one - amazon)
- 2 Large Eggs
- 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/3 cup Avocado Oil
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (use this for best results - amazon)
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Fine Salt
- 1 1/4 cups Diced Fresh Strawberries
- 1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
For The Crumb Topping
- 1/3 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
- 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter, Melted
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
Equipment
- loaf pan
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and line it with parchment paper.
- Blend the cottage cheese, eggs, granulated sugar, avocado oil, and vanilla until smooth.
- Whisk the 2 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Toss the strawberries separately with the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour.
- Fold the cottage cheese mixture into the dry ingredients just until combined, then gently fold in the coated strawberries. Spread the batter in the prepared pan.
- Stir the crumb topping flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon together until clumps form. Sprinkle the crumbs evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 52 to 60 minutes, until the crumb topping is golden and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Cover loosely with foil if the topping browns too quickly.
- Cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then transfer the bread to a wire rack and cool completely.
