Ingredients for Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this light, pillowy delight:

Advertisements

1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat both work)
3 large eggs
¼ cup almond flour (or substitute oat flour for nut-free)
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional add-ins:

A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth
1 teaspoon lemon zest for brightness

Tip: Use small, firm blueberries so they don’t burst too much during mixing.

How to Make Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Create the Base

In a medium bowl, whisk together cottage cheese and eggs until smooth and creamy. This mixture gives your bread its “cloud” texture — soft, fluffy, and full of protein.

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

Add almond flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup (if using). Stir gently until everything combines. Don’t overmix — the air pockets are what keep your bread light.

Step 4: Fold in Blueberries

Carefully fold in the blueberries with a spatula. You want them to stay whole so they pop with sweetness after baking.

Step 5: Shape the Clouds

Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet — about 2 tablespoons per round, spaced 2 inches apart. The rounds will spread slightly as they bake.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until each piece is golden brown on top and set in the center. Your kitchen should smell buttery and sweet by now — that’s when you know it’s ready.

Step 7: Cool & Serve

Let them cool on the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. This helps them set while keeping that airy texture intact.

Tips & Tricks for Perfect Cloud Bread

Room-temperature eggs whip better and mix more evenly.
Use a hand whisk instead of a mixer — it gives better texture control.
Don’t overmix the batter after adding blueberries; gentle folds keep the structure airy.
For a crispier edge, leave the bread in the oven for an extra 2 minutes after turning it off.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature, or refrigerate for a week. Warm them slightly before eating for the best flavor.

Flavor Variations & Creative Twists

Berry Medley: Mix in raspberries, blackberries, or chopped strawberries.
Savory Herb Version: Skip the honey, and add chopped rosemary, thyme, or chives.
Nutty Crunch: Add a tablespoon of chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture.
Chocolate Chip Delight: Swap the blueberries for dark chocolate chips — trust me, it works.
Pumpkin Spice: Stir in 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice for a cozy fall version.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use low-fat cottage cheese?

Yes — low-fat or even non-fat cottage cheese will still work. The texture may be slightly less creamy, but the bread remains fluffy.

Can I freeze this cloud bread?

Absolutely. Let the pieces cool completely, wrap each in plastic wrap, and freeze in a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. Reheat in a toaster oven for 2–3 minutes.

Can I make it dairy-free?

Yes. Substitute cottage cheese with dairy-free ricotta or silken tofu. The flavor changes slightly, but the result is still tender and light.

What if I don’t have almond flour?

You can use oat flour or coconut flour. Oat flour makes the bread slightly denser, while coconut flour requires reducing the amount to 2 tablespoons (it absorbs more liquid).

Is it suitable for a gluten-free diet?

Completely — all the ingredients listed are naturally gluten-free.
