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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal after baking.
- Blend Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating the base for your bake.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl. Add almond flour, honey or maple syrup (or your chosen sugar-free alternative), vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder. Stir gently to fully combine all ingredients.
- Fold in Berries: Carefully fold the mixed berries into the batter to evenly distribute them without breaking the berries too much.
- Pour and Spread: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set, confirming it is fully cooked through.
- 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 for clean slices and enhances the flavors.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen berries; if using frozen, no need to thaw before folding in.
- For a lower sugar option, opt for a sugar-free syrup or reduce the amount of honey/maple syrup.
- Ensure the baking dish is well greased or lined with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
- This bake is best enjoyed within 2-3 days when stored in the refrigerator.
- Feel free to substitute almond flour with another nut flour if desired, keeping in mind texture differences.
