Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup Almond Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest

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

Fruit

  • 2 cups Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Blend Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a blender or food processor, blend the full-fat cottage cheese with the eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which forms the base of your bake.
  3. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a large bowl. Add almond flour, your chosen sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar-free alternative), vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder. Stir gently until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  4. Fold in Berries: Carefully fold in the mixed berries to evenly distribute them throughout the batter without breaking them down too much, preserving their texture and flavor.
  5. Pour Batter into Dish: Pour the prepared batter into your greased baking dish and spread it out evenly for uniform cooking.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The bake is done when the top is golden and the center is set, indicating it is fully cooked.
  7. Cool Before Serving: Allow the bake to cool for 20 to 30 minutes to set properly, making it easier to slice and enhancing its flavors.

Notes

  • You can use fresh or frozen mixed berries; no need to thaw frozen berries before folding into the batter.
  • For a lower sugar version, substitute honey or maple syrup with a sugar-free sweetener like erythritol or stevia.
  • This dish can be refrigerated for up to 3 days in an airtight container and can also be enjoyed cold or warmed up.
  • To make it dairy-free, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based high-protein alternative, but baking time and texture may vary.
  • Make sure to grease the baking dish well or use parchment paper for easy removal of the bake.
