1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/2 cup fresh or thawed blueberries
1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Separate the egg whites into a large, clean mixing bowl.
Add the cream of tartar and beat until stiff peaks form.
In a separate bowl or blender, blend the cottage cheese, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth.
Lightly mash the blueberries to release some juice.
Gently fold the cottage cheese mixture into the beaten egg whites.
Add the blueberries and fold again, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Spoon the mixture into 4 even rounds on the prepared baking tray.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until lightly golden.

Storage/Reheating

Store cloud bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For the best texture, enjoy it fresh, but you can reheat it in a low oven or toaster for a few minutes. Avoid microwaving, as it may make the bread rubbery.

FAQs

1. How do I know when my egg whites are at stiff peaks?

Stiff peaks form when the egg whites hold their shape completely and stand straight up when you lift the beaters.

2. Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, but thaw them first and drain any excess liquid to avoid making the mixture too wet.

3. Is this recipe keto-friendly?

Yes, if you omit the honey or maple syrup, it’s low in carbs and keto-friendly.

4. Can I use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese?

You can, but the texture will be slightly denser and less airy.

5. Why did my cloud bread collapse?

Overmixing the batter or underbaking can cause collapse. Make sure to fold gently and bake fully.

6. Can I make this without cream of tartar?

Yes, but the egg whites may not hold their shape as well. A few drops of lemon juice can help stabilize them.

7. Can I freeze cloud bread?

Yes, freeze in a single layer, then store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

8. How can I make this sweeter?

Add a little extra honey, maple syrup, or even a sprinkle of powdered sweetener to taste.

9. What’s the best way to serve this bread?

It’s delicious plain, with a smear of nut butter, or topped with extra fresh fruit.

10. Why is my cloud bread grainy?

This can happen if the cottage cheese isn’t blended until completely smooth before folding into the egg whites.

Conclusion

Cottage cheese blueberry cloud bread is a wonderfully light, protein-packed treat that’s perfect for healthy snacking or breakfast. Its airy texture, fresh fruit flavor, and simple preparation make it a recipe you’ll return to again and again. Whether enjoyed fresh from the oven or chilled for a firmer bite, it’s a wholesome indulgence that feels like home.
