Ingredients You’ll Need
One of the best things about this recipe is how simple the ingredient list is. Each component plays an important role in achieving that signature cloud-like texture.
🛒 Ingredients
- ½ cup blended cottage cheese
Use full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese. Blending it until smooth is essential for a silky batter and even texture. - 3 large eggs, separated
Egg whites create the airy structure, while yolks add richness and flavor. - 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or almond flour)
This helps stabilize the batter and gives the bread just enough structure without heaviness. - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Adds warmth and enhances the natural sweetness of the blueberries. - 1 tablespoon honey or sweetener (optional)
Adjust based on your taste preferences or dietary needs. - ⅓ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Fresh blueberries work best, but frozen can be used—just don’t thaw them first to prevent excess moisture.
Instructions
Follow these steps carefully for perfect cloud bread every time.
1️⃣ Prep the Oven & Batter
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a medium bowl, combine:
- Egg yolks
- Blended cottage cheese
- Vanilla extract
- Cornstarch (or almond flour)
- Honey or sweetener (if using)
Mix until completely smooth. This mixture should be thick but pourable, with no lumps.
2️⃣ Whip the Egg Whites
In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. This step is crucial—properly whipped egg whites are what give cloud bread its signature fluffiness.
Tip: You should be able to turn the bowl upside down without the whites sliding out.
3️⃣ Fold Gently
Using a spatula, gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in batches. Take your time and use slow, sweeping motions to avoid deflating the batter.
Once mostly combined, carefully fold in the blueberries. Be gentle to keep them intact and evenly distributed.
4️⃣ Shape & Bake
Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 5–6 fluffy rounds.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until:
- The tops are lightly golden
- The bread feels set and springy to the touch
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. The cloud bread will firm up just a bit as it cools while staying soft inside.
Variations & Flavor Ideas
This recipe is incredibly flexible. Try one of these variations to keep things exciting:
🫐 Lemon Blueberry Cloud Bread
Add ½ teaspoon lemon zest to the yolk mixture for a bright, fresh flavor that pairs beautifully with blueberries.
🍓 Mixed Berry Version
Swap blueberries for chopped strawberries, raspberries, or a mix of berries.
🍫 Chocolate Chip Cloud Bread
Replace blueberries with sugar-free or dark chocolate chips for a dessert-style cloud bread.
🧀 Savory Option
Skip the honey and vanilla. Add a pinch of salt and a little shredded cheese for a savory, sandwich-style cloud bread.
🌱 Dairy-Free Adaptation
Use dairy-free cottage cheese alternatives made from almonds or soy, blended until smooth.
Serving Suggestions
- Enjoy warm with a drizzle of honey
- Top with Greek yogurt and extra berries
- Spread with almond butter or cream cheese
- Serve alongside eggs for a protein-packed breakfast
- Pair with coffee or tea for a light afternoon snack
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is cloud bread the same as regular bread?
No. Cloud bread is much lighter and airier, with no yeast or traditional flour. It’s closer to a soufflé in texture.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or air fryer.
Can I freeze cloud bread?
Freezing is not recommended, as the delicate texture may become watery once thawed.
Why did my cloud bread deflate?
This usually happens if the egg whites were under-whipped or folded too aggressively. Gentle folding is key.
Can I make this keto-friendly?
Yes. Use almond flour instead of cornstarch and a sugar-free sweetener instead of honey.
Can I use a blender for the whole batter?
It’s best to blend only the cottage cheese. Whipping egg whites separately is essential for the fluffy texture.
