FAQs
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, frozen blueberries work well. Just thaw them slightly and drain any excess juice before folding into the batter to prevent it from becoming too wet.
Can I make these loaves dairy-free?
This recipe relies on cottage cheese for structure and moisture, so substituting it may change the texture considerably. For a dairy-free version, consider experimenting with silken tofu or a dairy-free yogurt alternative, but results may vary.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup (225g) cottage cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Optional: 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup for added sweetness
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and baking powder. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated, creating a light batter with no lumps.
- Add Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the batter using a spatula to prevent them from breaking and to evenly distribute them throughout the mixture.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Bake the Loaves: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the loaves are puffed up, golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cloud loaves to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing them. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as a healthy breakfast or snack option.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, do not thaw to prevent the batter from becoming watery.
- For a sweeter loaf, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the batter before blending.
- Substitute baking powder with baking soda only if your cottage cheese is very acidic, and adjust quantities accordingly.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- These cloud loaves can be reheated in the oven or toaster oven for a few minutes to regain fluffiness.
