Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (well drained)
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- Optional: 1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (for extra sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
- Blend the Base: In a blender or food processor, combine well-drained cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla extract, and baking powder until smooth and well incorporated to create an even batter.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold fresh blueberries into the batter, taking care not to break them, to evenly distribute the fruity bursts throughout.
- Scoop and Shape: Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to portion the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the scoops evenly to allow room for rising.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cloud breads turn golden on top and feel light and springy when gently pressed.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the breads to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving to let the texture set perfectly and maintain their fluffiness.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs to help create a smoother batter and better rise.
- Drain your cottage cheese well to reduce excess moisture and prevent sogginess.
- Fold blueberries carefully to maintain their shape and prevent color bleed into the batter.
- Don’t overbake; remove the bread as soon as it springs back to keep it soft and fluffy.
- Optional toppings like a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of lemon zest can enhance the flavor.
