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

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a blender or food processor, blend the full-fat cottage cheese together with the eggs until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring a good base for the bake.
  3. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a mixing bowl. Add almond flour, your chosen sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar-free alternative), vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder. Mix gently until fully combined.
  4. Fold in Berries: Gently fold the mixed berries into the batter to distribute them evenly, taking care not to overmix to keep the berries intact.
  5. Pour and Spread Batter: Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking dish and spread it evenly to ensure uniform baking.
  6. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the center is set and firm to the touch.
  7. Cool Before Slicing: Remove from oven and allow the bake to cool for 20–30 minutes so it firms up, which helps achieve clean slices.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese and strain any excess liquid to avoid a watery texture.
  • If using frozen berries, do not thaw; toss them in almond flour before folding into the batter to prevent sinking and excess moisture.
  • Letting the bake cool completely before slicing ensures firm, clean pieces and better presentation.
