This cloud bread with chocolate chips is so light and fluffy it almost looks like a cloud. Made with whipped egg whites, a little agave syrup, cornstarch, and dark chocolate, it has an airy texture with pockets of melted chocolate in every bite.
And the ingredient list couldn’t be simpler. You only need four ingredients and about 30 minutes from start to finish.
Enjoy it as a sweet breakfast, afternoon snack, or light dessert whenever you’re craving something soft and chocolatey without making a traditional cake or loaf.
What Is Cloud Bread?
Cloud bread is an ultra-light baked recipe that gets most of its volume from whipped egg whites rather than flour or yeast.
Although it’s called bread, this sweet version isn’t really bread in the traditional sense. Its texture is much closer to a very airy soufflé or soft meringue.
The key is whipping the egg whites until firm and then handling them carefully. Cornstarch gives the mixture a little extra structure, while agave adds sweetness and dark chocolate chips turn it into a simple dessert-style cloud bread.

Tips for Perfect Cloud Bread
Use a completely clean and dry mixing bowl.
Even a small amount of grease can prevent egg whites from whipping properly.
Room-temperature egg whites generally whip more easily and gain good volume.
Whip until the mixture is firm and stable before adding the cornstarch.
Sift the cornstarch to prevent lumps.
Fold the chocolate chips in gently rather than stirring vigorously.
Use bottom-to-top movements with a spatula to preserve as much air as possible.
Shape the mixture into a tall mound rather than spreading it too thin.
Watch the bread closely during the final 5 minutes because oven temperatures vary.
Let it cool briefly before cutting, as the structure is particularly delicate when hot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Is My Cloud Bread Not Fluffy?
The egg whites may not have been whipped enough or the mixture may have deflated when the remaining ingredients were incorporated. Whip the whites until firm and fold the chocolate in very gently.
Does Cloud Bread Taste Like Regular Bread?
No. Despite the name, this sweet cloud bread doesn’t have the chewy crumb of traditional yeast bread. It’s much lighter, softer, and more egg-based.
