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 Lemon Zest
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder

Fruit

  • 2 cups Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a large bowl. Add almond flour, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder. Stir everything together until fully combined.
  4. Fold in Berries: Gently fold the mixed berries into the batter to evenly distribute them without crushing the berries.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  6. 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 completely set when tested with a toothpick.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the bake from the oven and allow it to cool for 20 to 30 minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up and makes for easier serving.

Notes

  • You can use any combination of fresh or frozen berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries.
  • For a lower sugar version, substitute honey or maple syrup with a sugar-free sweetener of your choice.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter once berries are added to avoid breaking them down too much.
  • This bake can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and is excellent served cold or reheated.
  • To make it vegan, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use a vegan cream cheese alternative instead of cottage cheese, though texture will differ.
