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
- 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.
