Ingredients

Scale

Base 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

Fruit

  • 2 cups Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly 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 cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain for a consistent texture.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients and Flavorings: Transfer the blended mixture to a large bowl. Add the almond flour, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
  4. Fold in Berries: Carefully fold in the mixed berries to the batter, distributing them without breaking them up too much to keep their shape and freshness.
  5. Pour Batter Into Dish: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly to ensure uniform baking.
  6. Bake the Berry Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Bake until the top is golden and the center is set and firm to the touch.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool in the dish for 20 to 30 minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up and makes it easier to cut into clean pieces. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Using full-fat cottage cheese ensures a creamier texture and richer flavor.
  • Almond flour makes this recipe gluten-free and adds a subtle nutty taste.
  • You can substitute honey or maple syrup with a sugar-free sweetener to reduce sugar content.
  • Fresh or frozen berries can be used; just ensure frozen berries are thawed and drained to prevent excess moisture.
  • Allow the bake to cool completely if you plan to store leftovers; it keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • For an extra touch, serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of powdered sugar if desired.
