History of the Keto Cloud Bread Recipe
The original recipe for cloud bread or oopsie bread started a lot time ago with Dr.Atkins for a low-carb diet. It was a fluffy bread, more like a sandwich bun and it's main ingredient was eggs and cream cheese.
It was a fairly easy recipe that many found once again as the keto diet took off.
With it's simple ingredients it became popular for anyone following a ketogenic diet, but for me, the first time I made it, I found it wasn't a great recipe as far as taste and texture.
It tends to be light and have an airy texture, but with a very eggy taste and not at all like a piece of regular bread to make a sandwich with.
I was the first person to create the cloud bread into an actual loaf of bread. I also changed out the cream cheese and used sour cream because that cream cheese always got stuck to the roof of my mouth and sour cream gave it the best texture.
That's what I did back in 2016, I published my adaption to Cloud Bread which also included whey protein powder to provide a bit more substance. My cloud bread tastes like white bread!
It produces a fluffy cloud bread recipe like no other that you can truly use as sandwich bread! If you see the use of protein powder in cloud bread anywhere else, you know it was first published by ME in 2016, so all others are copycats.
COTTAGE CHEESE BREADS
If your on tik tok, you've seen the 2-ingredient cottage cheese bread, you will see it uses just whipped egg whites and cottage cheese though some other cottage cheese bread recipes actually use bread flour or all purpose flour and are not keto friendly or gluten free.
It is absolutely tasteless with water, cottage cheese and liquid egg whites, don't even try it.
Always check the ingredients on tiktok- make the ones that don't include regular refined flours and sugar because there are a ton of content creators who care nothing about using quality ingredients for keto.
What Kind of Cottage Cheese is Best?
The brand I like best is Green Valley organic, but the Lactaid brand is also a great brand as is, the Good Culture brand.
I don't recommend fat free cottage cheese because it won't be as satisfying as full fat cottage cheese or as creamy. I like to use lactose free cottage cheese since my daughter and I both have lactose intolerance.
Full-fat cottage cheese is best, either 4% or 2% cottage cheese will yield the best results.
Can I swap the whey protein powder?
I wouldn't recommend that.
The whey protein powder acts like gluten would in baked gluten-free alternatives. It not only provides a great fluffy texture, it helps give the bread height and lift and a nice bite!
Try this cottage cheese bread recipe if you don't want to use whey protein powder, but it does use egg white protein powder.
This cottage cheese bread with egg white protein powder is the lowest in fat and the highest in protein of all the bread recipes. It also needs dried whole egg powder instead of fresh eggs.
Can I swap the cottage cheese?
Yes you can swap it out but just remember, you are changing the macros. This cinnamon swirl cottage cheese bread has 9 grams of protein and just 1 gram of carbs per slice.
You can swap the cottage cheese with ricotta cheese or Greek yogurt but those will also increase your carb count in the nutritional information in the printable recipe card below.
Can I swap the Allulose?
You could make the cinnamon swirl without the Allulose if you can't buy it where you live or you could make your own allulose syrup at home with my recipe.
Just make sure to have the brown sugar substitute sweetener for this cloud bread recipe or you won't have that cinnamon swirl authentic flavor and taste.
Storage for Keto Cottage Cheese Cinnamon Swirl Cloud Bread
Once your loaf has cooked and cooled completely, slice into 12 slices.
The best way to store is in an airtight container in the fridge for a week or you can lay slices between pieces of parchment paper then in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Take a piece or two out of the freezer and toast!

Yes, you can turn this cloud bread loaf into muffins instead! Using this a extra large muffin pan is best so you have nice and full puffy muffins with cinnamon swirl on top.
