EASY TO MAKE VEGAN CLOUD BREAD RECIPE DAIRY-FREE

Traditional cloud bread has non-vegan-friendly ingredients; such as eggs, cow milk, and cream cheese. So, if you love cloud bread and want a vegan option for this great recipe, here you can find an easy recipe made with vegan ingredients. Moreover, this plant-based version is a great option for people following a low-carb diet, keto diet, vegan, vegetarian, and those with dietary restrictions as this recipe is also gluten-free and dairy-free. 

SIMPLE INGREDIENTS

This vegan cloud bread recipe was made of simple ingredients that are also easy to find.

  • Gluten-free flour: I wanted to use chickpea flour for this recipe, but you can try other gluten-free flour such as almond flour.
  • Milk: a great alternative to cow milk is the vegan milk. Although I used oats milk as I like the taste and the consistency, there are many other options that you can use. For example, soya milk, rice milk, cashew nuts milk, almond milk, coconut milk, etc.
  • Salt: I normally use Himalayan salts for my recipes. However, you can use other types of salts; for example, table salt, kosher salt, fine sea salt, or even flavored salts such as garlic salt to give a lovely aromatic flavor to this vegan cloud bread.
  • Aquafaba: to replace the eggs (the egg whites in particular) I used aquafaba, the water where chickpeas were cooked. You can buy aquafaba in the stores or drain the chickpeas and use that water if you have a can of chickpeas.

Furthermore, if you add sugar to this recipe, you can enjoy cloud bread as a sweet dessert with fruit toppings. Here I listed options to season and to add as topping for both, sweet and savory. Bear in mind that some ingredients can be in both lists or you can also make sweet and sour cloud bread.

  • Roasted garlic and white bean dip.
  • Roasted vegetables and fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

  • 150gr. of Chickpea flour.
  • 180ml. of Plant-based milk.
  • 1 Cup of Whipped aquafaba.
  • 1 Tsp. of Garlic powder.
  • 1/2 Tsp. of Salt.
  • 1 Tsp. of Baking powder.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees or 400 F.
  2. On a baking sheet place parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl sieve the chickpea flour and add the rest of the dry ingredients (garlic powder, salt, and baking powder). Mix well.
  4. Then, pour the plant-based milk and integrate it well. For the plant-based milk I used oats milk, but you can use others.
  5. To make the whipped aquafaba* I pour the liquid of a tin of chickpea beans into a bowl of a stand mixer (you can also use a hand mixer or electric mixer). Beat the aquafaba until you get a firmer consistency or until you can get stiff peaks.
  6. Take one cup of the whipped aquafaba add it to the cloud bread mixture and integrate it well carefully with a wooden spoon.
  7. With a large spoon take a portion of the cloud bread mixture and place it on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for around 10 to 15 minutes**.
  9. When they are golden brown, check that are fully cooked. Your cloud bread should have a fluffy texture inside.
  10. Let the cloud bread cool down at room temperature before consumption.
  11. If you have leftovers o you are making this recipe in advance you can store the cloud bread in an airtight container.

Notes

*For best results when whipping the aquafaba use cream tartar. Add half a teaspoon of cream tartar to the aquafaba.

** Cooking times can vary depending on the oven you are using, I used an electric fan-assisted oven.
