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
- Preheat and prepare the dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish thoroughly to ensure the bake doesn’t stick.
- Blend cottage cheese and eggs: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese and eggs and blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy without lumps, creating a rich base for the bake.
- Mix dry ingredients and flavorings: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and add the almond flour, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated into a consistent batter.
- Fold in the berries: Gently fold in the mixed berries to evenly distribute them without breaking them up, maintaining their vibrant color and texture in the batter.
- Pour and spread the batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly across the bottom with a spatula for uniform cooking.
- Bake: Place the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes. The bake is done when the top is golden brown and the center is set and firm to the touch.
- Cool before serving: Remove the bake from the oven and allow it to cool for 20–30 minutes. This resting time helps it set fully and makes slicing easier without crumbling.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen berries — if frozen, do not thaw to avoid excess moisture.
- For a sugar-free option, replace honey or maple syrup with a sugar-free sweetener of your choice.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese to achieve the best creamy texture and flavor.
- Almond flour makes this bake gluten-free; substituting with regular flour will change the texture and gluten content.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; it can also be reheated gently before serving.
