Description

This Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread is a light, fluffy, and protein-packed gluten-free bread option, perfect for a nutritious breakfast or a healthy snack. Bursting with sweet blueberries and made with simple ingredients, it offers a delightful balance of flavors and texture while being low in carbs and free from gluten.

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese (blended smooth)
  • 3 large eggs (separated)
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Additional

  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy removal of the cloud bread.
  2. Whip Egg Whites: In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with salt and baking powder until stiff peaks form, which is essential for giving the bread its fluffy texture.
  3. Blend Wet Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, egg yolks, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Blend until completely smooth to ensure a uniform batter.
  4. Fold Egg Whites: Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the blended mixture to lighten it. Then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites, preserving their volume and fluffiness for an airy texture.
  5. Add Blueberries: Fold in the fresh blueberries gently to distribute them evenly without bursting. Alternatively, you may scatter the blueberries on top after scooping the batter onto the baking sheet.
  6. Portion Batter: Use a large spoon or ice cream scoop to place rounds of batter on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each to allow for expansion during baking.
  7. Bake: Bake the cloud bread for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and springy to the touch, indicating they are fully cooked and fluffy.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cloud bread to cool on the baking sheet before serving to set the texture and prevent crumbling.

Notes

  • Store the cloud bread in the fridge for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
  • For longer storage, freeze the bread with parchment paper between each piece to prevent sticking.
  • Reheat frozen or refrigerated bread at 300°F for 5–6 minutes for the best texture and warmth.
