Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread is a light, airy, and slightly sweet bread that’s perfect for a low-carb or gluten-free option. The addition of cottage cheese gives the bread a creamy texture, while the blueberries add a burst of sweetness and color. This cloud bread is incredibly easy to make and makes for a great breakfast, snack, or even a unique side dish. It’s a fun, lighter alternative to traditional bread, and it’s packed with protein!

Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese (preferably full-fat or low-fat)

3 large eggs, separated

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup almond flour (or any flour of your choice)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup fresh blueberries (or more, depending on preference)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat.
  2. Prepare the Egg Whites: In a clean bowl, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. This will give the cloud bread its light, airy texture.
  3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, egg yolks, baking powder, honey (if using), and vanilla extract until smooth. Add in the almond flour and salt and mix until everything is well combined.
  4. Fold in the Egg Whites: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture, taking care not to deflate the batter too much. The goal is to keep the mixture as light and airy as possible.
  5. Add the Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  6. Form the Bread: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small round mounds. Space them a bit apart, as they will expand while baking.
  7. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cloud bread is golden brown and firm to the touch. Check for doneness by gently pressing the center to ensure it’s set.
  8. Serve: Allow the cloud bread to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it on its own, or with additional toppings like butter, cream cheese, or a drizzle of honey.

Notes

Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spiced flavor.

Substitute the blueberries with other fruits like raspberries, blackberries, or even a mix of dried fruit for variety.

Use a bit of lemon zest for a fresh, citrusy twist.

Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
