Instructions
1
Start by boiling two cups of water in a medium saucepan.
2
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, remove it from heat and add the Ramen noodles (discard the seasoning packet). Allow the noodles to soak for 2 minutes until slightly softened.
3
Strain the water from the noodles and use a paper towel to blot dry, removing excess moisture.
4
Transfer the noodles to a cutting board and chop them crosswise into approximately 1-inch pieces.
5
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
6
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, nutmeg, baking powder, vanilla extract, and the egg. Use an electric mixer to mix until the ingredients are well blended.
7
Add the low-fat cottage cheese and low-fat milk into the mixture, continuing to blend until fully incorporated.
8
Gently fold in the chopped Ramen noodles and mix well using a spoon.
9
Stir in 1/2 cup of finely chopped salted peanuts into the batter for added texture and flavor.
10
Grease the inside of a 2-quart square baking dish with a pat of margarine to prevent sticking.
11
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
12
Sprinkle the remaining chopped peanuts over the top of the uncooked batter for a crunchy finish.
13
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
14
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, either on its own or with a pat of butter if desired.
