Ingredients
Primary Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather 1 cup of cottage cheese, 3 large eggs, and 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries to ensure all ingredients are fresh and ready for blending.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Blend on medium speed until the mixture becomes smooth and fluffy, fully incorporating the cottage cheese and eggs together.
- Gently Fold in Blueberries: Remove the mixture from the blender and carefully fold in the fresh blueberries using a spatula to avoid breaking them up.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cloud loaves.
- Bake the Loaves: Pour the blended mixture into a greased muffin tin or small loaf pans. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the loaves are puffed, lightly golden on top, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the cloud loaves to cool slightly before removing them from the pans. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid to prevent sogginess.
- For a dairy-free alternative, you can substitute the cottage cheese with silken tofu, though texture will vary.
- Adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon can enhance the flavor optionally.
- These cloud loaves are best consumed within 2 days when stored in an airtight container refrigerated.
- To reheat, warm them briefly in a toaster oven or microwave.
