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
Fruit & Sweetener
- 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 and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended, creating the base batter for the cloud bread.
- Add Dry Ingredients and Flavorings: Add the almond flour, baking powder, salt, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until all these ingredients are fully incorporated into the batter, ensuring an even texture and flavor.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them so the fruit retains its shape and bursts with flavor during baking.
- Form Dough Balls: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop dollops of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading and even cooking.
- Bake the Cloud Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cloud bread is golden brown on top and set in the center, indicating it’s fully cooked.
- Cool Down: Remove the cloud bread from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents sogginess and helps maintain the perfect cloud-like texture.
Notes
- For a fluffier texture, ensure the cottage cheese is well blended to avoid lumps.
- Do not overfold the blueberries to prevent the batter from turning purple.
- Optionally, you can substitute almond flour with coconut flour but adjust quantity as coconut flour absorbs more liquid.
- Serve fresh or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and low in carbs, making it suitable for gluten-free and diabetic-friendly diets.
