Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients and Sweeteners: Add the almond flour, baking powder, salt, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated into a batter.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them, to keep whole berries intact within the batter.
- Portion Batter: Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop dollops of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Space each dollop about 2 inches apart to allow for slight spreading.
- Bake: Bake the dollops in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cloud bread is golden brown on top and set in the center.
- Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the breads cool for a few minutes on the sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps the texture set properly.
Notes
- For a sweeter cloud bread, add the honey or maple syrup, or omit it for a less sweet version.
- You can replace almond flour with another low-carb flour alternative, but almond flour works best for texture.
- Be gentle when folding in blueberries to prevent them from bursting and coloring the batter too much.
- Store leftover cloud bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in a toaster or oven before serving for best texture.
