Description
Fluffy cottage cheese cloud bread paired with nutritious chia pudding creates the ultimate healthy breakfast bowl that’s both keto-friendly and incredibly satisfying. This viral recipe combines the best of TikTok trends with superfood nutrition for a breakfast that looks as amazing as it tastes.
Ingredients
1 cup full-fat cottage cheese, room temperature
6 large egg whites, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
1/2 cup chia seeds
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
2 tablespoons maple syrup or stevia to taste
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 cup mixed fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
1/4 cup sliced almonds
2 tablespoons coconut flakes
Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare chia pudding by whisking chia seeds, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in a bowl. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping.
2. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a completely clean mixing bowl, whip egg whites and salt until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer.
4. Gently fold cottage cheese and vanilla into whipped egg whites using a rubber spatula, being extremely careful not to deflate the mixture. Use gentle folding motions.
5. Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, create 8 evenly-sized mounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and set. The clouds should spring back lightly when touched.
7. Cool cloud bread on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing.
8. Divide prepared chia pudding among 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with 2 cloud bread pieces.
9. Garnish with fresh berries, sliced almonds, coconut flakes, and mint leaves. Serve immediately for best texture.
Notes
Cloud bread is best enjoyed fresh and warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in toaster oven for best results.
Chia pudding keeps for up to 5 days in the refrigerator when stored in covered containers.
For strict keto version, replace maple syrup with stevia or monk fruit sweetener and add 1 tablespoon MCT oil for extra healthy fats.
Ensure all mixing equipment is completely clean and dry when whipping egg whites for maximum volume.
Room temperature ingredients whip better and create more stable foam structure.
For meal prep, prepare chia pudding in individual jars and bake fresh cloud bread each morning.
If cloud bread deflates, common causes include over-mixing, cold ingredients, or residual oils in mixing bowl.
