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

Dry Ingredients

½ cup Almond Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder

Fruit

2 cups Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Blend Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a blender or food processor, blend the full-fat cottage cheese and the eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a protein-rich base.
Mix Dry Ingredients and Flavorings: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl and stir in the almond flour, sweetener of choice (honey or maple syrup), vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Fold in Berries: Gently fold the mixed berries into the batter to distribute them without crushing, maintaining their shape and freshness.
Pour Batter into Dish: Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform baking.
Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set, indicating it is fully cooked.
Cool and Serve: Remove the bake from the oven and allow it to cool for 20 to 30 minutes before slicing and serving, enhancing the texture and flavor.

Notes

You can use fresh or frozen berries; if using frozen, do not thaw before adding to maintain texture.
Substitute honey or maple syrup with a sugar-free sweetener if you prefer lower sugar content.
This dish can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
For a dairy-free option, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based alternative, though texture and protein content will vary.
Make sure to grease the baking dish well to prevent sticking and make serving easier.
