Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese
- 3 large cold eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar or sweetener of choice (e.g., honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and help the bread hold its shape while baking.
- Blend the Base: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, sugar (or sweetener), vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps for a truly fluffy texture.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter by hand. This prevents breaking the berries and maintains bright, whole pieces throughout the bread.
- Shape and Bake: Use a spoon to dollop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet in evenly sized rounds. Leave some space between them as the batter spreads slightly. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cloud bread cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This step ensures the bread firms up enough to handle without crumbling.
Notes
- Use cold eggs and cottage cheese for a fluffier mix and better rise.
- Gently fold in blueberries last to keep berries intact and prevent color bleeding.
- Measure ingredients accurately to maintain the bread’s light texture.
- Check baking around 18 minutes to avoid overbaking, which can dry out the bread.
- Serve fresh; best eaten the day it’s made or within 24 hours for optimal fluffiness.
