- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Blend Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, honey (if using), and olive oil or melted butter (if using). Mix well until smooth. You can use a blender or whisk by hand.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder or herbs (if using).
- Combine Mixtures:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour into Pan:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
