There’s something deeply satisfying about making your own bread – the smell filling your kitchen, the simple ingredients, and the knowledge that you know exactly what’s going into it. But what if you could take it one step further and make bread without flour? Perfect for those avoiding gluten or looking to reduce refined carbs, flourless bread can be a delicious and nutritious alternative.
This Wellness Wednesday, we’re sharing a simple flourless bread recipe that’s high in protein, packed with fibre, and ideal for your Pilates-fuelled lifestyle.
Flourless Bread Recipe
Ingredients:
200g rolled oats (use gluten-free if needed)
3 large eggs
250g cottage cheese
1 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
½ tsp salt
Optional: seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, flax) for topping
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or 350°F.
Blend the oats in a food processor until they resemble a coarse flour.
Add the eggs, cottage cheese, baking soda, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Blend again until a thick batter forms.
Line a loaf tin with baking paper and pour the mixture in. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle seeds on top if using.
Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Let the loaf cool completely before slicing.
Why Flourless?
Flourless bread is naturally higher in protein and fibre, supporting stable blood sugar levels and keeping you fuller for longer. It’s also less processed, making it a nourishing choice for your body – perfect alongside your Pilates practice for sustained energy.
Serving Suggestions
Toasted with avocado and a sprinkle of chilli flakes
Topped with nut butter and banana for a post-Pilates snack
As a base for an open sandwich with your favourite toppings
Take a moment this week to slow down, get your hands into the process, and enjoy the ritual of making bread that supports your wellness goals.
