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
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup Almond Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder

Fruit

  • 2 cups Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish to ensure the bake doesn’t stick and comes out easily.
  2. 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, creating a rich protein base for the bake.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients and Flavorings: Transfer the blended cottage cheese and eggs to a mixing bowl, then stir in the almond flour, honey or syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder until well combined.
  4. Fold in Berries: Gently fold the mixed berries into the batter, taking care not to break them apart to retain their shape and texture.
  5. Pour and Spread Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly for uniform baking.
  6. Bake the Dish: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is fully set, indicating the bake is cooked through.
  7. Cool and Slice: Allow the bake to cool for 20 to 30 minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up and makes serving easier.

Notes

  • You can substitute mixed berries with any fresh or frozen fruit of your choice.
  • For a sugar-free version, replace honey or maple syrup with a sweetener like erythritol or stevia.
  • Ensure berries are well drained if using frozen to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
  • This bake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated gently before serving.
  • Almond flour provides a gluten-free alternative but you may try oat flour for a different texture and flavor.
