Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Only two main ingredients
- High in protein
- Naturally gluten-free
- Soft and flexible
- Great for meal prep
- Made with simple pantry ingredients
- Perfect for sweet or savoury fillings
Ingredients
- Cottage cheese – I recommend full-fat cottage cheese for the softest, most flexible wraps, although reduced-fat cottage cheese works well too and is what I use.
- Eggs – The eggs bind everything together while adding extra protein.
- optional seasonings such as garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper
Optional additions
Although they’re delicious as-is, I like adding:
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Sea salt
- Black pepper
For an even more traditional wrap texture, you can also blend in:
- 1 tablespoon corn starch, or
- 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
This creates a slightly chewier wrap that’s easier to fold.
How To Make Cottage Cheese Wraps
Making these wraps couldn’t be easier.
- Preheat your oven and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Lightly grease the paper to prevent sticking.
- Blend all ingredients until completely smooth.
- Pour half the mixture onto the tray.
- Spread into a thin, even circle or rectangle.
- Bake until lightly golden.
- Allow to cool completely before peeling from the paper.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
That’s it!
Nutritionist Tips
- Blend for at least 30 seconds so the cottage cheese becomes completely smooth.
- Spread the batter evenly. Thick areas won’t cook at the same rate.
- Let the wraps cool before peeling them off the paper. They become much more flexible as they cool.
- If your wraps crack when folding, they were either baked slightly too long or spread too thick.
- The optional starch helps create a softer, more tortilla-like texture if that’s what you’re after.

How To Reheat
You can enjoy these wraps cold or gently warm them:

Avoid overheating, as this can dry them out.

Common Mistakes
My wrap cracked
Usually caused by baking too long or making the wrap too thick.
My wrap stuck to the baking paper
Make sure you lightly grease the paper and allow the wrap to cool before removing it.
My wrap isn’t flexible
Try adding the optional corn or tapioca starch and avoid overbaking.
My wrap is watery
Some cottage cheese brands contain more moisture than others. If needed, bake for an extra minute or two until just set.
