Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups Full-Fat Cottage Cheese
  • 3 large Eggs
  • ½ cup Almond Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ cup Honey or Maple Syrup (or sugar-free alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
  • 2 cups Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Prepare the cottage cheese mixture: In a blender, combine the full-fat cottage cheese and eggs. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy to ensure a silky texture in your bake. Transfer this mixture to a mixing bowl.
  3. Mix dry ingredients and flavorings: To the bowl with the blended cottage cheese and eggs, add almond flour, baking powder, your preferred sweetener such as honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Stir everything gently together until fully combined.
  4. Add the berries: Carefully fold in the mixed berries, making sure they are evenly distributed without crushing them too much, to keep bursts of fruit throughout the bake.
  5. Bake the dish: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set when lightly pressed.
  6. Cool and slice: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the dish to cool for 20 to 30 minutes. This resting time helps it to firm up, making it easier to slice and serve.

Notes

  • This recipe can be made with either fresh or frozen berries; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid to avoid a soggy bake.
  • For a lower sugar version, substitute the honey or maple syrup with a sugar-free alternative such as erythritol or monk fruit sweetener.
  • Make sure to blend the cottage cheese and eggs thoroughly for a smooth consistency.
  • Allow the bake to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean slices and proper texture.
  • You can customize the berries based on what’s seasonal or your preference (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries work well).
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently before serving.
