Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup small-curd cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
Add-ins
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Then stir in honey or maple syrup thoroughly to add sweetness.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the almond flour and baking powder to eliminate any lumps and ensure a light texture.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just enough to incorporate without deflating the batter. Carefully fold in the blueberries to avoid crushing them.
- Form the Bread: Spoon dollops of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly for proper cooking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cloud bread turns golden brown and is set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries based on availability; if using frozen, do not thaw to prevent bleeding into the batter.
- The bread is best enjoyed the same day for maximum fluffiness.
- Almond flour provides a gluten-free alternative but can be replaced with other nut flours if desired.
- Adjust sweetness by varying honey or maple syrup amount according to taste.
- Ensure gentle folding to maintain the airy texture of the bread.
