Description
A light, high-protein, low-carb bread made with whipped egg whites, blended cottage cheese, and juicy blueberries for a guilt-free, fluffy delight.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese, blended smooth
- 1/2 cup fresh or well-drained frozen blueberries
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon powdered sweetener (optional)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Drain and blend cottage cheese until smooth. Set aside.
- In a grease-free bowl, whip egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, mix egg yolks with blended cottage cheese, vanilla extract, lemon zest, cornstarch, and optional sweetener.
- Gently fold the yolk mixture into the whipped egg whites using a spatula. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the blueberries carefully to avoid deflating the batter.
- Spoon mixture onto prepared baking sheet in mounds.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and firm.
- Let cool completely on the tray before serving or storing.
Notes
Use fresh blueberries for best texture. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze individually wrapped slices for later.
