Ingredients for Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread
You’ll need just a handful of pantry staples and fresh blueberries:
1 cup cottage cheese – Use small-curd for creamier texture.
3 large eggs, separated – Whites for fluffiness, yolks for richness.
3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup – Natural sweetness.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Warm flavor base.
2 tablespoons cornstarch (or arrowroot powder) – Helps with structure.
½ teaspoon baking powder – Adds lift.
¼ teaspoon salt – Balances sweetness.
½ cup fresh blueberries – Juicy bursts of flavor.
Ingredient Substitutions
Swap blueberries for strawberries, raspberries, or chocolate chips.
Use stevia or monk fruit instead of honey for a lower-carb version.
Replace cottage cheese with Greek yogurt for a tangier twist.
Try cocoa powder instead of cornstarch for a chocolate version.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Oven
Preheat to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Make the Cottage Cheese Base
In a mixing bowl, blend cottage cheese, egg yolks, honey, vanilla, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt until smooth.
Step 3: Whip Egg Whites
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This is what makes cloud bread fluffy.
✅ Pro Tip: Use a clean, grease-free bowl for best results—any fat will prevent peaks.
Step 4: Fold Gently
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture. Don’t overmix—you want to keep the air in.
Step 5: Shape the Clouds
Spoon dollops of batter onto the baking sheet, shaping them into small rounds.
Step 6: Add Blueberries
Press a few blueberries gently on top of each round.
Step 7: Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden and puffed.
Step 8: Cool & Enjoy
Let cool slightly before serving for the soft, cloud-like texture.
Pro Baking Tips
✔️ Drain cottage cheese if it’s too watery—this helps structure.
✔️ Don’t skip cornstarch—it keeps the bread from collapsing.
✔️ Use room temperature eggs—they whip better.
✔️ Add blueberries on top, not inside—to avoid soggy spots.
✔️ Bake low & slow—too high heat will deflate them.
Why Cloud Bread Is Different
Unlike traditional bread, cloud bread is grain-free, flourless, and super light. It’s perfect for anyone who wants:
A low-carb bread alternative.
A high-protein snack.
A gluten-free option without complicated flours.
The addition of cottage cheese makes it creamier, more flavorful, and more satisfying than plain cloud bread recipes.
