Main Ingredients
- 1 cup well-drained cottage cheese
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (for sweetness)
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather fresh blueberries, eggs, cottage cheese, baking powder, vanilla extract, and optional sweetener. Ensure the cottage cheese is well-drained to avoid excess moisture that can affect texture.
- Whip the Eggs: Separate egg whites from yolks. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form; this step ensures the bread’s light and airy structure.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the yolks with cottage cheese, baking powder, vanilla extract, and optional sweetener until smooth and creamy.
- Combine and Fold: Gently fold the stiff egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture to maintain fluffiness. Carefully fold in fresh blueberries for bursts of juicy sweetness.
- Bake to Perfection: Spoon the batter onto a parchment-lined baking tray in small rounds or as one large loaf. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until the surface is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for better volume and fluffiness.
- Drain cottage cheese thoroughly to prevent runny batter.
- Fold gently to keep air in the egg whites for a cloud-like texture.
- Avoid overbaking to keep the bread moist and soft.
- Use fresh blueberries instead of frozen to prevent excess moisture.
