Blueberry Fluffy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 2 tbsp honey or a sweetener of your choice (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1 tbsp lemon zest (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (optional, for brushing)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
-
Prepare the wet ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the cottage cheese, vanilla extract, and honey (if using). Stir well to combine.
-
Mix the dry ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps.
-
Combine the wet and dry ingredients:
- Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir gently until everything is fully combined and the batter is smooth.
-
Fold in the blueberries:
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries. Be careful not to crush them too much to avoid turning the batter blue.
-
Shape the cloud bread:
- Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet in small, round mounds. You can make them as big or small as you like, but remember they will puff up a bit while baking.
- Use the back of the spoon to gently flatten them into thick discs, about 1/2 inch high.
-
Bake the bread:
- Bake the cloud bread in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch. Keep an eye on them after 15 minutes, as baking times may vary depending on your oven.
-
Cool and serve:
- Allow the cloud bread to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If you like, you can brush them with a little melted butter or olive oil for added richness before serving.
Tips:
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bread for longer storage. Just be sure to layer them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Sweetener: You can adjust the amount of sweetener based on your preference. If you prefer a less sweet version, you can leave out the honey.
- No blueberries? If you don’t have fresh blueberries, feel free to substitute them with other berries like raspberries or blackberries, or even chopped strawberries.
This Blueberry Fluffy Cottage Cheese Cloud Bread is a delicious, healthy treat that’s perfect for breakfast or a snack. The cottage cheese makes it extra fluffy and moist, while the blueberries add a burst of freshness. Enjoy it on its own or with a dollop of yogurt or cream cheese!
