Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- ½ cup (120g) cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon powdered sweetener (allulose or erythritol)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit
- ¼ cup (30g) fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Whip Egg Whites: In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. This step is crucial for creating the bread’s airy texture.
- Mix Base Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, egg yolks, coconut flour, baking powder, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Fold Together: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture using a spatula. Fold carefully to retain the airiness—avoid overmixing to keep the batter light.
- Add Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them up too much.
- Shape Cloud Bread: Spoon the batter into 6 equal mounds on the prepared baking sheet, shaping each mound into a 4-inch round for even baking.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes until the cloud bread is golden brown and set in the middle.
- Cool: Remove from oven and let the cloud bread cool on a wire rack before serving to allow them to firm up and maintain their texture.
Notes
- Use fresh blueberries to avoid adding extra moisture from thawed frozen fruit, which can affect the texture.
- Ensure egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks for maximum fluffiness.
- Folding the egg whites gently is key to maintaining the light texture; avoid vigorous stirring.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in a toaster or oven for best texture before serving.
