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 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, combine the full-fat cottage cheese and eggs and blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring a silky texture for the bake.
- Mix Dry Ingredients and Sweetener: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl, then stir in almond flour, your chosen sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar-free alternative), vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder until everything is well combined.
- Fold in Berries: Gently fold the mixed berries into the batter to evenly distribute without breaking the fruit, which maintains the bake’s texture and appearance.
- Pour Batter into Dish: Pour the berry batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes until the top is golden and the center is set, indicating the bake is fully cooked.
- Cool Before Serving: Allow the bake to cool for 20–30 minutes to firm up. This step helps achieve clean slices and enhances the flavor.
Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese and strain any excess liquid to avoid a watery texture in the bake.
- If using frozen berries, do not thaw them before adding; toss them in almond flour first to prevent sinking and bleeding into the batter.
- Let the bake cool completely before slicing to ensure firm, clean pieces.
