FLUFFY PROTEIN CLOUD BREAD

This light and airy cloud bread is a perfect high-protein, low-carb snack that delivers approximately 15 grams of protein per serving, making it an excellent choice for muscle recovery and sustained energy. Its delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture offers a satisfying combination of fluffiness and slight chew, with a subtly sweet and savory flavor that pairs well with both sweet spreads and savory toppings. Rich in protein and low in calories, it's an ideal option for those looking to boost their macros without sacrificing taste or texture. Enjoy this versatile bread as a post-workout treat, a quick breakfast, or as part of meal prep to keep your nutrition on track throughout the week. For gluten-free options, simply ensure that any flavorings or toppings are gluten-free, and vegans can substitute egg whites with aquafaba or other plant-based foams. To achieve the best rise and fluffiness, make sure your egg whites are whipped to stiff peaks and gently fold in any additional ingredients to avoid deflating the batter. This cloud bread is not only satisfying and protein-packed but also easy to customize with your favorite herbs, spices, or sweeteners for a personalized touch.

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 60g cream cheese, softened
  • 30g unflavored whey protein powder
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

2

Beat Egg Whites

In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.

3

Mix Yolks and Cheese

In a separate bowl, mix the egg yolks, cream cheese, and protein powder until smooth.

4

Fold Gently

Gently fold the yolk mixture into the egg whites until just combined, being careful not to deflate the whites.

5

Form and Bake

Spoon the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming small circles. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

6

Cool

Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Slice is too dry

Try reducing baking time by 2-3 minutes, or add an extra tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the batter.

Not rising properly

Check that your baking powder is fresh (less than 6 months old). Also avoid overmixing the batter.

Gummy texture in center

This usually means under-baking. Use a toothpick to test - it should come out with just a few moist crumbs.

Too dense

Make sure you're measuring protein powder correctly. Too much protein powder can make baked goods dense.
