You are going to obsess over this recipe. It is totally gluten free and keto friendly which is great if you are watching your carbs.

Plus it only uses a few ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen right now.
Ingredients for Your Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread
- One cup of full fat cottage cheese
- Three large egg whites
- One tablespoon of cornstarch or arrowroot powder
- Half a cup of fresh blueberries
Try to make sure your cottage cheese and egg whites are at room temperature before you start. It helps everything blend together much smoother and gives the bread a better rise in the oven. If they are too cold the batter might not get as fluffy as you want it to be.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to three hundred degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Put your cottage cheese and cornstarch in a blender and whiz it until it is completely smooth and there are no lumps left.
- In a separate clean bowl whip your egg whites until they form stiff peaks that do not fall over.
- Gently fold the blended cheese mixture into the egg whites using a spatula and be very careful not to pop all the air bubbles.
- Slowly stir in your fresh blueberries but do it gently so you do not deflate the batter.
- Scoop the batter onto your prepared tray into small circles and bake for thirty minutes until they are golden brown.
Tips for the Perfect Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread
The biggest secret is using parchment paper so nothing sticks to the pan because this bread is very delicate. You will know it is done when the top is firm and golden brown. If it feels too soft it might turn out rubbery once it cools down so give it that full thirty minutes. Also do not blend the blueberries in the blender with the cheese. If you do that your whole bread will turn a weird purple color and lose that nice fluffy look. Just fold them in at the very end.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen blueberries in this recipe?
You can try it but I really recommend fresh ones if you can find them. Frozen berries tend to bleed color into the batter and they add extra water to the mix. That extra moisture can make your cloud bread go flat or get a bit soggy in the middle.
How long does cottage cheese blueberry cloud bread stay fresh?
It is definitely best when you eat it right away while it is still fresh from the oven. If you have leftovers you can put them in a sealed container in the fridge for two or three days. Just know it might lose a little bit of that airy fluffiness after the first day but it still tastes great.
