Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread (Printable Version)

A naturally sweet, airy bread featuring blueberries and cottage cheese. Perfect low-carb, high-protein option.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dairy & Eggs

01 - 3 large eggs, separated
02 - 1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese, drained well and blended until smooth

→ Dry Ingredients

03 - 1 tablespoon cornstarch
04 - 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
05 - 1 tablespoon powdered sweetener, optional

→ Flavorings

06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
07 - 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, optional

→ Fruit

08 - 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Thoroughly drain the cottage cheese and blend until completely smooth using a food processor or immersion blender.
03 - In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, blended cottage cheese, vanilla extract if using, lemon zest if using, sweetener, and cornstarch until well combined.
05 - Gently fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula, taking care not to deflate the mixture.
06 - Carefully fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
07 - Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the rounds about 2 inches apart.
08 - Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
09 - Let the cloud bread cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. The texture will firm up as it cools.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • They taste indulgent and fluffy without any of the guilt or heaviness that comes with traditional baked goods.
  • Ready in 35 minutes from craving to cooling on your rack, which means you're not stuck in the kitchen all morning.
  • Seven grams of protein per serving keeps you satisfied way longer than toast ever could.
  • The blueberries burst with tartness against the sweet, creamy crumb, creating this perfect balance that makes them addictive.
02 -
  • Drain your cottage cheese really well because excess moisture is the enemy of cloud texture, so don't skip this step even though it feels tedious.
  • A 300°F oven is lower than you might expect, but it prevents the outsides from setting too fast before the insides cook through, which keeps them light and fluffy instead of cracking on top.
03 -
  • If your egg whites won't whip up properly, make sure your bowl is absolutely spotless and grease-free, then start again with fresh whites because even a tiny bit of yolk will sabotage everything.
  • The moment you see golden brown on top, check doneness by gently pressing the center because these cook through faster than you'd expect at the lower temperature.
