This ridiculously simple and Keto friendly cloud bread recipe was actually an accident. I wanted to make the typical Keto cloud bread, but I didn’t have all the ingredients. So, instead, I switched cream-cheese with almond flour, and voila! Delicious, and simple, these low-carb, pseudo flatbreads actually improve on perfection.
The typical cloud bread, for all its hype, can taste a bit eggy (deny it if you like, but it’s true). Who’d have thought that a simple omission would do the trick? It just goes to show, that the best things in life are accidents. And also, that a single, missing puzzle piece puts everything into perspective.

Revamped Cloud Bread; Keto or Low-Carb?
Okay, let’s address the protein-packed elephant in the room. The omission of cream cheese does make this a low-carb, rather than Keto recipe. But, since this is bread, I tend to include high fat fillings to go along with it. I’d wager that as long as it fits into your macros, it should still be okay.
