blood sugar balancing comfort food twist gluten-free high protein high-fiber high-protein luteal support Jul 12, 2025

These soft, savory, high-protein rolls are made with just a handful of whole-food ingredients—blended cottage cheese, eggs, and oats—then baked to pillowy perfection. Topped with chives or everything bagel seasoning, they’re the ultimate gluten-free alternative to bread, perfect for hormone-happy meals and snack plates.

Ingredients

Makes 6 medium rolls

  • 1 cup (240g) cottage cheese (2% or full-fat for best texture)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1½ cups gluten-free rolled oats

  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder (aluminum-free if possible)

Optional Toppings:

  • 1–2 tablespoons chopped chives, or

  • 1–2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning, or

  • Sprinkle of sesame seeds or nigella seeds

 

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  2. Blend the batter:

    In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, eggs, oats, salt, and baking powder. Blend until smooth but thick—like muffin batter.

  3. Shape the rolls:

    Use a large spoon or scoop to portion 6 mounds of batter onto the baking sheet. Use damp fingers to gently smooth and round the tops.

  4. Add toppings:

    Sprinkle with chopped chives, everything bagel seasoning, or sesame seeds.

  5. Bake:

    Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until puffed, lightly golden, and springy to the touch.

  6. Cool & serve:

    Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Can also be frozen and reheated.

 

Nourish Notes

  • Cottage cheese provides slow-digesting casein protein—great for stabilizing blood sugar and reducing cravings.

  • Oats support estrogen metabolism and are rich in beta-glucans for gut health.

  • Eggs are loaded with choline and vitamin D—key for hormone production and brain function.

These are ideal for luteal or menstrual phases, when blood sugar support + protein + comfort is key.
