Full Ingredients

This Now, Make It Later!

For the Cloud Bread Batter

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat both work)
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 2 tbsp almond flour (optional for extra structure)
  • 2 tbsp powdered keto sweetener (monkfruit or erythritol)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Swirl

  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1½ tbsp keto brown sweetener

For Topping (Optional But Heavenly)

  • Keto powdered sweetener for dusting
  • A drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup

Tools Needed

  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • 9×5 loaf pan or baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Small bowl for swirl mixture
  • Toothpick for swirling

How to Make Keto Cottage Cheese Cinnamon Swirl Cloud Bread

Step 1 — Prepare the Pan

Line your loaf pan with parchment and lightly grease.
The batter is delicate, so parchment is your best friend.

Step 2 — Blend the Base

In a bowl or blender, combine:

  • Cottage cheese
  • Egg yolks
  • Almond flour
  • Vanilla
  • Keto sweetener

Blend until creamy and smooth.

Step 3 — Whip the Egg Whites

In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
This is what gives cloud bread its magical lift.

Step 4 — Fold Gently

Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the whipped egg whites.
Using a spatula, fold carefully — don’t deflate the fluff.

Step 5 — Make the Cinnamon Swirl

Mix melted butter, cinnamon, and keto brown sugar until smooth.

Step 6 — Layer & Swirl

Pour half the batter into the loaf pan.
Drizzle half the cinnamon swirl.
Add remaining batter.
Finish with swirl mixture.
Use a knife to create gentle loops and swirls.

Step 7 — Bake

Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 35–40 minutes, or until golden and set.

Cloud bread doesn’t rise like normal bread — it puffs, sets, and becomes beautifully soufflé-like.

Step 8 — Cool Completely

This step is KEY.
Cloud bread firms up as it cools.
Warm = airy and fragile
Cool = sliceable, soft, and perfect

What to Serve With Cinnamon Cloud Bread

Oh, the possibilities…

  • Butter + sugar-free maple syrup
  • Greek yogurt + berries
  • Keto cream cheese frosting
  • Almond butter
  • Fresh strawberries
  • With your morning coffee (my favorite!)

For a brunch spread, pair with:

Tips for Making It Perfect

  • Use very stiff egg whites — glossy and firm.
  • Fold gently to keep the fluff.
  • Almond flour is optional but helps structure.
  • Cool fully before slicing — it’s fragile when hot.
  • Use the lowest oven rack to prevent browning too quickly.
  • Double the cinnamon swirl if you want it EXTRA cinnamon-roll flavors.
