Ah, Cottage Cheese Cinnamon Swirl Cloud Bread — a soft, fluffy, low-carb bread that’s perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack 🥄☁️. The combination of cottage cheese and eggs gives it a light “cloud-like” texture, and the cinnamon swirl adds warmth and sweetness without needing much sugar. Here’s a simple recipe:
Cottage Cheese Cinnamon Swirl Cloud Bread
Ingredients (makes 6–8 slices)
For the bread:
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 4 oz (½ cup) cottage cheese
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the cinnamon swirl:
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2–3 tsp sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- Optional: 1 tsp melted butter
Instructions
1. Preheat oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the batter
- Separate the eggs into yolks and whites.
- In a blender or food processor, blend egg yolks, cottage cheese, baking powder, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture, keeping as much air as possible.
3. Prepare cinnamon swirl
- Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
- Optionally, add melted butter to make a spreadable paste.
4. Assemble
- Spoon batter onto the prepared baking sheet into 6–8 rounds.
- Using a toothpick or small knife, swirl a small amount of the cinnamon mixture into each round.
5. Bake
- Bake 20–25 minutes, until golden and set.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Tips
- Fluffier texture: Fold egg whites gently to preserve air.
- Sweetness: Adjust cinnamon sugar to taste, or add a sugar substitute for low-carb version.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 2–3 days or freeze for later.
💡 Pro tip: These are perfect as a base for cream cheese frosting, peanut butter spread, or just a light breakfast with berries.
