Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups Full-Fat Cottage Cheese
  • 3 large Eggs
  • ½ cup Almond Flour
  • ¼ cup Honey or Maple Syrup (or sugar-free alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 2 cups Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish to ensure your bake doesn’t stick.
  2. Blend Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, which forms the base of your batter.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a large bowl and stir in the almond flour, honey or syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder until fully combined.
  4. Fold in Berries: Gently fold the mixed berries into the batter, being careful not to crush them, to add bursts of fruity flavor throughout the bake.
  5. Pour Batter into Dish: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and spread it out to ensure an even bake.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set, indicating it is cooked through.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool for 20 to 30 minutes before slicing to let it firm up and make serving easier.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen berries depending on availability; frozen berries may release more moisture but still work well.
  • To make it sugar-free, substitute honey or maple syrup with a sugar-free sweetener suitable for baking.
  • This bake is naturally gluten-free due to the use of almond flour.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Can be served warm or chilled, and pairs well with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of cream.
