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

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and 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 eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring an even texture for the bake.
Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl. Add the almond flour, your choice of honey or maple syrup (or sugar-free alternative), vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder. Stir gently until everything is well combined.
Fold in Berries: Carefully fold the mixed berries into the batter to distribute them evenly without crushing them.
Pour Batter into Dish: Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly to promote uniform baking.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the bake turns golden on top and the center is set and firm to the touch.
Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool for 20 to 30 minutes before slicing; this helps it to set further and makes serving easier.

Notes

You can use fresh or frozen mixed berries; if using frozen, no need to thaw.
For a lower sugar option, substitute honey or maple syrup with a sugar-free sweetener of your choice.
Almond flour adds healthy fats and protein but can be substituted with other nut flours if preferred.
Letting the bake cool completely improves texture and flavor.
This recipe can be doubled and baked in a larger dish, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
