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
Fruit
- 2 cups Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)
- 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 or food processor, blend the full-fat cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring a luscious base for the bake.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a mixing bowl and add almond flour, honey or your choice of sweetener, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Fold in Berries: Gently fold in the mixed berries, being careful not to crush them, to distribute the fruit evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer to Dish: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly to ensure uniform baking.
- 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.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the bake cool for 20 to 30 minutes before slicing to allow it to firm up, then serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen mixed berries based on availability; frozen berries should be thawed and drained to avoid excess moisture.
- Substitute sweeteners based on dietary preferences, using sugar-free alternatives if desired.
- Almond flour helps keep the bake gluten-free; do not substitute with regular flour to maintain the texture and protein content.
- This bake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For additional flavor, sprinkle some sliced almonds on top before baking.
