Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups Full-Fat Cottage Cheese
  • 3 large Eggs
  • ¼ cup Honey or Maple Syrup (or sugar-free alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup Almond Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest

Other

  • 2 cups Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish to prepare it for the batter.
  2. Blend Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a blender or food processor, blend the full-fat cottage cheese and eggs together until smooth and creamy, ensuring a uniform mixture.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl and stir in the almond flour, chosen sweetener, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder until well combined.
  4. Fold in Berries: Gently fold the fresh or frozen mixed berries into the batter to distribute them evenly without crushing the berries.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  7. Cool Before Serving: Remove from the oven and let the bake cool for 20 to 30 minutes before slicing to allow it to firm up for clean slices.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese and strain off any excess liquid to prevent the bake from becoming watery.
  • If using frozen berries, do not thaw them; toss them in almond flour before folding them into the batter to avoid color bleeding and excess moisture.
  • Allow the bake to cool completely before slicing to ensure firm and clean pieces.
