Fluffy Little Clouds You Can Eat!

Okay, so have you ever craved bread but, like, totally didn’t want the carbs? 🙋‍♀️ Enter cloud bread! Seriously, if you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could eat bread without feeling like a balloon,” this is your jam. It’s soft, it’s light, and it’s like biting into a fluffy cloud. Not that I’ve ever bitten a cloud—don’t ask. 😂

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Picture this: you’re wandering through the grocery store, and you need just a few things. You grab 3 large eggs (I mean, can’t go wrong with eggs), then it’s ½ cup cottage cheese (the full-fat kind makes it super creamy, trust me on this one). Don’t forget the ¼ tsp cream of tartar—this stuff’s like magic for making the egg whites fluffy!

Then you’ve got your 1 tbsp almond flour and 1 tbsp coconut flour (totally optional but, like, why not?), plus ½ tsp baking powder and ½ tsp salt. Oh, and a splash of 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter—gotta keep things moist, right? And if you wanna get a little fancy, grab some sesame seeds, chia seeds, or fresh herbs like rosemary. You do you! 🌿

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, so here’s the tea: I first tried this recipe during one of those “I really need to eat healthier” phases (we all have ‘em). I was scrolling through TikTok—yes, I was sucked into the abyss—and saw this fluffy bread. I thought, “No way this is gonna work,” but I was desperate.

So, I whipped it up one Sunday morning when I had way too much cottage cheese in the fridge (you know how it goes). And OMG, when I pulled those fluffy clouds out of the oven—I couldn’t even handle it! The smell was heavenly, and the texture? Pure magic. I made avocado toast and felt like a gourmet chef. 🤩 Now I whip these up weekly!

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Listen close: the secret to that fluffy texture is all in the egg whites. Seriously, you gotta beat them until they form stiff peaks. Like, think of it as a workout for your whisk! If you don’t get that perfect fluff, your cloud bread is gonna fall flat—literally. So, channel your inner pastry chef and whip those whites good!

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Be gentle when folding! Seriously, I can’t stress this enough. If you mix too hard, it’ll deflate and your clouds will be more like pancakes. Not cool.

2. Check your oven. Every oven is different. Mine runs a bit hot, so I usually check the bread at 20 mins. You want golden on top, not burnt!

3. Use parchment paper! This stuff is a lifesaver. No sticking, no drama. Just pure cloud magic.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

Okay, so if you somehow manage to have leftovers (good luck with that!), just pop them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll hang tight for about 3 days. But let’s be real, they probably won’t last that long. 😂
