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)
- Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat 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: Blend the cottage cheese and eggs together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating the base of the batter.
- Mix dry and wet ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl and stir in almond flour, your choice of sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar-free alternative), vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder until fully combined.
- Fold in berries: Gently fold the mixed berries into the batter to evenly distribute them without breaking them down.
- Pour and spread batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth it out evenly to ensure a consistent bake.
- Bake the dish: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set, indicating it’s fully cooked.
- Cool and slice: Allow the bake to cool for 20 to 30 minutes before slicing into servings for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen mixed berries according to availability.
- For a sugar-free version, substitute honey or maple syrup with your preferred sugar-free sweetener.
- Letting the bake cool fully helps it set and makes slicing easier.
- Make sure not to overmix once the berries are added to avoid crushing them.
- This bake can be served warm or chilled, depending on your preference.
