Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, and salt to form the base batter.
- Whisk Smooth: Whisk the mixture until it is smooth and the ingredients are well incorporated, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add Flavors: Stir in the vanilla extract and honey, whisking again until fully combined to add sweetness and flavor.
- Prepare Egg Whites: In a separate clean bowl, add the cream of tartar to help stabilize the egg whites.
- Whip Egg Whites: Use an electric mixer or hand whisk to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, creating the fluffy texture for the bread.
- Fold Egg Whites: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the airiness.
- Add Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries to distribute them evenly throughout the batter without breaking them up.
- Shape Dough: Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into cloud-like mounds and leaving space between each for spreading during baking.
- Bake Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cloud bread turns golden brown on top and feels firm to the touch.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the bread to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve: Serve the blueberry fluffy cottage cheese cloud bread warm or at room temperature, perfect by itself or with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Be careful when folding the egg whites to maintain the fluffy texture of the cloud bread.
- Fresh blueberries give the best flavor and texture; frozen berries may add extra moisture and alter baking time.
- This bread is best eaten the same day but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- You can substitute honey with a sugar-free sweetener to reduce sugar content if desired.
- Almond flour is key for structure and low carbs; do not substitute with regular flour if aiming for a low-carb version.
