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

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.
Prepare the cottage cheese mixture: In a blender, blend the full-fat cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Transfer this blend to a mixing bowl.
Mix dry and wet ingredients: To the bowl, add the almond flour, baking powder, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Stir gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Add the berries: Carefully fold in the mixed berries to preserve their shape and avoid crushing.
Bake the dish: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top turns golden and the center is fully set.
Cool and slice: Remove the bake from the oven and allow it to cool for 20 to 30 minutes. Once cooled, slice into portions and serve.

Notes

You can use fresh or frozen mixed berries depending on availability.
For a sugar-free option, substitute honey or maple syrup with your preferred sugar-free sweetener.
Make sure to gently fold in the berries to keep them from breaking apart and coloring the batter.
Allowing the bake to cool before slicing helps it set perfectly and makes cutting easier.
This bake is gluten-free due to the use of almond flour, making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
