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 and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  2. Blend Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which will provide a fluffy texture to the bake.
  3. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl. Add almond flour, your choice of sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar-free alternative), vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Fold in Berries: Gently fold in the mixed berries, being careful not to break them apart. If using frozen berries, do not thaw and toss them in almond flour before folding to help distribute evenly.
  5. Pour and Spread Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly for consistent baking.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set, indicating it is fully cooked.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the bake from the oven and let it cool for 20 to 30 minutes. Cooling helps the bake set firmly and makes it easier to slice and serve.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese and strain any excess liquid to prevent a watery bake.
  • If using frozen berries, do not thaw them to avoid excess moisture. Toss them in almond flour before folding into the batter to help absorb juice and distribute evenly.
  • Allowing the bake to cool completely before slicing ensures cleaner, firmer pieces for serving.
