Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 2 tablespoons almond flour (optional for added texture)
Optional Substitutions
- Greek yogurt (in place of cottage cheese for a different flavor)
- Flaxseed meal (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsp water = 1 egg) for a vegan egg substitute
- Raspberries or chopped strawberries (alternative to blueberries)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the cloud bread evenly.
- Blend the Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, eggs, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Blend the mixture until it becomes completely smooth to create a uniform batter.
- Fold in the Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh or thawed blueberries into the batter along with the almond flour if using. This will add texture and flavor without breaking the blueberries.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking. This ensures easy removal of the baked cloud bread.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place it in the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water and use dairy-free yogurt instead of cottage cheese.
- Almond flour adds optional texture and a slight nutty flavor.
- Fresh blueberries are preferred, but frozen (thawed) can be used.
- This bread is best consumed within 2-3 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Ensure the batter is well blended for the fluffiest texture.
