Simple steps for a delicious cinnamon swirl in every bite

Making this Keto Cottage Cheese Cinnamon Swirl Cloud Bread is easier than you’d expect. The texture comes from careful whipping, and the swirl brings that bakery-style charm. Here’s how to make it perfect every time:

1. Separate the eggs carefully. Place the egg whites in a clean bowl with cream of tartar. In another bowl, combine the yolks with cottage cheese, vanilla, and melted butter.
2. Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This creates that cloud-like structure.
3. Blend the yolk mixture using a hand blender or whisk until smooth. Then add almond flour, baking powder, sweetener, and a pinch of salt.
4. Fold the egg whites gently into the yolk mixture. Be slow and careful—this is the secret to fluffy bread.
5. Mix cinnamon swirl paste in a small bowl using 1 tbsp sweetener, 1 tsp cinnamon, and a splash of water.
6. Spoon half the batter into a parchment-lined pan or baking sheet, swirl in half the cinnamon paste, then layer the remaining batter and top with more cinnamon paste. Use a toothpick to swirl it through gently.
7. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden on top and springy to touch.
8. Cool on a wire rack before slicing. This helps firm up the soft texture.

This method works like magic. You’ll be amazed how the fluffy cottage cheese blueberry cloud bread texture comes through even with the added cinnamon swirl.
