Weight Watchers Cloud Bread is a tasty alternative to traditional bread, and can be used as crackers, pizza crust, and more. You can use it in place of a slice of bread or as a gluten-free bread alternative.
I love it for sandwiches and snacking–it’s a low point and low carb recipe and a delicious snack! You may never go back to regular bread after trying the fluffy texture of this easy recipe with only three main ingredients! It’s one of my favorite snacks–just eggs, cream cheese, and baking powder!
I’ve found that the best bread for Weight Watchers is one that is low on points and has ingredients I can pronounce. This is the perfect way to enjoy bread on the Weight Watchers program as it counts for only four 2023 points. If you’re on a keto diet this is also a good bread alternative–it has 5g of carbs and 20g of protein per batch. Perfectly keto friendly!
I’ve provided the base recipe here, but you can make additions, as well. Poppy seeds and sesame seeds add a great crunch when sprinkled on top, or you can turn this into garlic cloud bread with a mix of garlic salt, onion flakes, and garlic powder.
Just remember that any additions to the original recipe will mean you may need to recalculate points for healthy eating plans.

Ingredients
- Eggs: Fresh eggs are best, and you’ll use the whole egg, but will need to separate the yolks and the whites.
- Light Cream Cheese: Use low fat or light cream cheese to keep the points lower.
- Baking Powder: The baking powder gives the dough just a bit of rise.
How to make this Weight Watchers Cloud Bread
Time needed: 35 minutes.
This is one of the easiest recipes on my site, and it’s been a favorite of my community for years!
- Preheat: Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with a silpat mat or parchment paper.
- Separate egg yolks and whites: Set the egg whites aside for later.
- Mix Yolks: Mix egg yolks and cream cheese in a mixing bowl and blend until smooth. Be sure to smooth out all of the lumps of cream cheese.
- Mix whites: Add egg whites and baking powder to a separate bowl. Whip with an electric hand mixer until fluffy. Be sure that your egg whites are the same consistency throughout the entire bowl, top to bottom. Aim for stiff peaks–all that air mixed into the egg whites will make your cloud bread nice and fluffy.
- Combine: Gently fold the egg whites into the cream cheese mixture. I use a large whisk and stir until just combined, don’t over mix as that will knock the air out of your egg whites! Gently folding in the egg whites will keep the cloud bread dough fluffy.
- Bake: Using a cookie scoop, place the batter onto the covered baking sheet spacing about 2 inches apart to allow for expansion. Place the cookie sheet in your preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until light golden brown. Transfer the cloud bread to a cooling rack before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Recipe Tips
- Room temperature ingredients incorporate better. I recommend leaving your eggs and cream cheese on the counter for at least an hour before cooking. Do not microwave the ingredients to bring to room temperature as that won’t produce the same results.
- I prefer using a silpat baking mat, but lining your cookie sheet with parchment paper works as well.
- You can use cream of tartar in place of baking powder.
- You can use low fat plain Greek yogurt in place of cream cheese, but your batter might be a little runny. If you’d like to follow a recipe specifically for Cloud Bread with Greek yogurt, you can! I don’t recommend using cottage cheese for cloud bread, especially since Greek Yogurt or cream cheese work so well.
- If you do not have a cookie scoop, use 2 rounded tablespoons of batter per piece of bread for small bread like you see in my pictures.
- Blend the egg whites on high speed with a hand mixer to make those stiff peaks. And make sure you don’t have any egg yolks in your whites.
- Look for a lightly toasted golden brown top when baking–once you see that golden color, it’s time to pull them out of the oven.
- You can freeze Cloud Bread for up to six months! My favorite way to do this is to freeze the pieces on a baking sheet, and then transfer them to a freezer bag until you’re ready to use them. Thaw frozen Cloud Bread in the fridge rather than toasting, though, as it easily burns.

Weight Watchers Cloud Bread with Cream Cheese
Equipment

Ingredients
- 3 eggs room temperature and separated

Instructions

- Add egg whites and baking powder to a second bowl. Whip until fluffy. Be sure that your egg whites are the same consistency throughout the entire bowl.
- Gently mix the whites and yolks together. I use a large whisk, and stir until combined, but not over-mixed. This will keep the cloud bread fluffy.

Hello! I’m a little confused with the Smart Points. It says 2 FreeStyle SPs per serving. What is a serving? Is a serving 1? Then it says at the bottom, FreeStyle Smart Points | 7 Per Batch. Does that mean for the whole recipe – 7 SPs? Thanks for the recipe. I’d like to try it this weekend. Have a great day!
Hi there! Sorry for the confusion. The whole batch is 7 Freestyle Smart Points. The only thing with points is the cream cheese. 4 servings would be 2 points per serving which comes out to 3-4 pieces depending on how big you make the pieces! All of this is figured out on the Weight Watchers recipe creator :)
Thank you Ma’am!! I can’t wait to try them.
Hi! I’m new to WW and this looks like an easy recipe! Would low fat or non-fat cream cheese make a difference?
Hi Caitlin, welcome!
You could try them with the low fat or non-fat cream cheese but we’ve never made them that way. This recipe is kind of sensitive in terms of texture so I can’t say for sure how they’ll turn out. If you do make them that way be sure and let us know how they turn out! You could potentially cut out a majority of the points with a non-fat cream cheese substitution but again, no idea how that will work with the consistency and baking process!
I was wondering about the texture. I’ll let you know if I try it. Thank you for the quick response! I look forward to following your blog! :-)
Hi! I’m not on weight watchers but am on a low carb low calorie diet. How many calories does your cloud bread have?
According to the MyFitnessPal app, 3tbsp of baking powder, 3tbsp of cream cheese and 3 large eggs is 285 calories. Divide that by however many rounds you make to determine how many calories there are for each round.
Great recipe idea!! Can’t wait to try it! I am gluten intolerant & Im on WW’s so this is a great low point ‘bread’ alternative! What size cookie scoop did you use in preparation? Thank you!
The whole batch is 7 freestyle points. If I use fat free cream cheese, I am assuming the points would be lower is that correct?

I was wondering if I could double the recipe to make 6 breads instead of 3?
You can absolutely double the recipe!
I don’t have a silpat baking mat for making cloud bread. Should I lightly grease my cookie sheet?
I would!!
I just watched the video, and it says “Greek yogurt” instead of cream cheese. Is that a different recipe?
Same recipe, just uses greek yogurt instead of cream cheese :) The main point of the video is to show how to incorporate the ingredients for fluffy cloud bread :)
Thanks! Does the yogurt work as well as the cream cheese? I have both, but I was going to try the cream cheese today.
Absolutely yogurt works too!
This entire batch is a one serving? Am I reading that correctly? I just made these but did 1/3 of the recipe and it made four of them that are about 4 inches. I have not tried yet but can’t wait for lunch, thanks for the recipe!
Totally reading that correctly–isn’t it crazy?!?!
Instead of Cream Cheese could you use fat free (zero point) Greek yogurt? Or would it go weird?
I’ve used Greek yogurt before (https://mycrazygoodlife.com/low-carb-cloud-bread-recipe/) but not fat free, only 2%. I think it would work though, as the difference between cream cheese and Greek yogurt makes it a little thinner but the recipe still turns out. I think the difference between lowfat and fat free would still work :)
Hi Becca,
I am new to WW (just started on Monday), so am doing some research to find recipes to try out. I’m a little confused on how this is 1 point on the new WW plan? When I try to input the ingredients myself it said the cream cheese was 5 points? I did find a premade recipe for cloud bread on the WW app with a little bit of different ingredients for 1 point, but I’m unclear what 1 serving size would be for that. Am I inputting something incorrectly? I really want to try this as it sounds delish!
Thanks for your help and I look forward to exploring more of your blog!
Hey Abby! I just ran it again and you’re totally right – I ran it with low fat cream cheese (3 tbsp) and that is 4 points. If you made 3 servings out of the recipe (literally divide the batch into 3), the WW website is telling me that would be considered 1 point per serving.
