This recipe is a full proof way to enjoy your pancakes while sticking to your diet. They are low carb and provide high amounts of protein without the addition of protein powder.

Consumers trying to keep their diets low carb while still being able to enjoy a nice sandwich once in awhile, will find satisfaction in cloud bread. It has minimal ingredients, takes little to no time to prepare, and its texture and flavor mirrors almost an exact copy of bread. It’s a carb craving smasher. No other low carb, low calorie bread recipe compares to this one.
