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 the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish to ensure the bake doesn’t stick.
  2. Blend Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a blender or food processor, blend the full-fat cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, creating the base of the bake.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a mixing bowl. Add almond flour, honey or maple syrup (or your chosen sugar-free alternative), vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
  4. Fold in Berries: Gently fold the mixed berries into the batter, taking care not to crush them, to evenly distribute the fruit throughout the bake.
  5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly to ensure uniform baking.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set without jiggling.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the bake to cool for 20–30 minutes before slicing. This cooling step helps the bake to firm up and enhances the flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute mixed berries with any berry combination like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries as per availability.
  • For a lower sugar option, use a sugar-free sweetener instead of honey or maple syrup.
  • If almond flour is not available, finely ground oats or coconut flour can be used but may slightly alter texture.
  • Ensure berries are fresh or if frozen, thaw and drain excess moisture to avoid a soggy bake.
  • This recipe can be doubled to fit a larger baking dish, adjusting baking time accordingly.
