Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F)
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it
Add cottage cheese and eggs into a blender or food processor
Blend until smooth and creamy with no lumps
Transfer the mixture into a mixing bowl
Add rolled oats (or oat flour) into the mixture
Add baking powder, salt, and black pepper
Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined
Stir in olive oil to enhance moisture and texture
Fold in chopped chives if using for extra flavor
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan
Smooth the top evenly using a spatula
Tap the pan gently to remove air bubbles
Place the pan into the oven
Bake for 40–50 minutes until the top is golden brown
Insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean
Remove from oven and let it cool completely on a rack
Do not slice while hot to prevent crumbling
Slice into even pieces once fully cooled
Serve fresh or toast lightly before serving
