If you loved bread before you started keto or went gluten free, going without can be a hard adjustment to make. What do you eat with your tea? Dessert? As a snack?
This delicious cinnamon cloud bread is the answer to your bready keto cravings. I like to eat them as-is with a cup of tea or bulletproof coffee.
If you need a fat and protein boost, smear it with some almond butter and maybe even add a couple sliced strawberries. YUM!
The inspiration for this recipe came from the "english muffins" recipe on page 158 of Vanessa Spina's book Keto Essentials: Your Complete Guide to the Ketogenic Diet (get it on Amazon or Barnes & Noble).
Her book has all kinds of really creative keto recipes (all of which are also gluten free!). If you're looking for a great keto cookbook, I highly recommend it.
This cloud bread recipe is sweet and spicy and perfect for dessert.
If you want a cloud bread that is more well suited for savory applications, leave out the xylitol, vanilla and cinnamon (but do whisk the egg yolks with the sour cream before adding them to the egg whites on step 5).
Creative Green Living has an awesome recipe for plain cloud bread. It's perfect for sandwiches or savory applications.I love topping mine with cream cheese, lox and capers for breakfast or an easy lunch.
Unlike other cloud bread recipes, this cloud bread is made with sour cream instead of cream cheese. I find sour cream is easier to mix smoothly and you don't have to remember to set it out to soften!
Cloud bread is also called "oopsie bread" and this cinnamon oopsie bread will be a fun twist for those looking for flavored cloud bread or flavored oopsie bread recipes.
But you didn't come here to hear me ramble. You want to learn how to make this bread! Let's get down to it!

Using an egg separator over the bowl for your stand mixer, separate your eggs so that the egg whites go into the mixer bowl.
Add the yolks to the bowl with the xylitol.

(this photo is an in-process shot - the egg whites shown are not quite stiff enough)
PRO TIP: In order for this step to be successful, you should start with a clean, dry bowl that is not warm (do not take the bowl straight out of the dishwasher to make this recipe!).The egg whites must also be very cleanly separated from the yolks - if there is any trace of yolk in the bowl, it will not work.

Fold the yolk mixture into the egg white mixture until just incorporated.
