Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread: A Fluffy Delight! Recipe

Introduction

Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread is a light and fluffy treat that feels like a cross between bread and cheesecake. With the natural sweetness of blueberries and a delicate texture, it’s perfect for breakfast or a snack. This recipe is simple and yields a moist, airy bread that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese (creamy, full-fat or low-fat)
• 3 large eggs (separated)
• 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp cornstarch (or arrowroot powder, for structure)
• ½ tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• ½ cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Add the baking powder and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
3. Step 3: In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, egg yolks, honey, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Blend until smooth and creamy.
4. Step 4: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture, taking care to keep the batter airy.
5. Step 5: Fold in the fresh blueberries carefully to avoid crushing them.
6. Step 6: Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet in thick rounds about 1 inch high, or pour into a baking dish for a loaf-style bread. Top with extra blueberries.
7. Step 7: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the bread is golden brown on top and set in the middle.
8. Step 8: Let the bread cool slightly before removing from the parchment paper. Serve warm or chilled.

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
