How to make Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread
Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese
- 3 large cold eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar or sweetener of choice (e.g., honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and help the bread hold its shape while baking.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, sugar (or sweetener), vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps for a truly fluffy texture.
- Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter by hand. This prevents breaking the berries and maintains bright, whole pieces throughout the bread.
- Use a spoon to dollop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet in evenly sized rounds. Leave some space between them as the batter spreads slightly.
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the cloud bread cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This step ensures the bread firms up enough to handle without crumbling.

How to store Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the cloud bread. Wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag. They should last for about a month in the freezer.
