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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Blend Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a blender or food processor, blend the full-fat cottage cheese and eggs together until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl and stir in the almond flour, honey or maple syrup (or sugar-free alternative), vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder until fully combined.
- Fold in Berries: Gently fold in the mixed berries carefully to retain their shape and avoid breaking them apart.
- Pour Batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out to ensure a uniform thickness.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set and no longer jiggly.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool for 20 to 30 minutes to set completely before slicing and serving.
