Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish to ensure the bake won’t stick and will cook evenly.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, blend the full-fat cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This ensures a consistent texture throughout the bake.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a large bowl and stir in the almond flour, sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, or sugar-free alternative), vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder until fully combined.
  4. Add Berries: Gently fold in the mixed berries, being careful not to break them up too much to preserve their shape and bursts of flavor.
  5. Pour Batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and spread it smoothly for even baking.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the center is set and no longer jiggly.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool for 20 to 30 minutes before slicing. Cooling helps the bake firm up for easier handling and enhances the flavors.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup or a sugar-free sweetener to adjust sweetness and dietary preferences.
  • Frozen berries can be used but make sure to thaw and drain excess liquid to avoid a soggy bake.
  • For a dairy-free version, try replacing cottage cheese with silken tofu or a plant-based cream cheese alternative, though texture may vary.
  • Almond flour helps keep this bake gluten-free and low carb, but you can substitute with oat flour if preferred.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving, if desired.
