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

Add-ins

  • 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 thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a blender or food processor, blend the full-fat cottage cheese and eggs until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a mixing bowl. Add almond flour, your choice of sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or a sugar-free alternative), vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Fold in Berries: Gently fold the mixed berries into the batter, taking care to distribute them evenly without crushing the fruit.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly for uniform cooking.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set and firm to the touch.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the bake cool for 20 to 30 minutes. This resting time helps the bake to set further and makes it easier to slice. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can use fresh or frozen mixed berries depending on availability; if using frozen, no need to thaw before folding into the batter.
  • For a sugar-free version, substitute honey or maple syrup with a sugar-free syrup or sweetener of choice.
  • If you don’t have almond flour, finely ground almonds can be a good alternative.
  • Make sure the baking dish is adequately greased to avoid sticking.
  • The bake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and is excellent reheated for breakfast or as a snack.
