Ingredients

Scale

Main 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
2 cups Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

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, combine the full-fat cottage cheese and eggs. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring an even texture for the bake.
Mix Dry Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture into a bowl. Add the almond flour, honey or syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder. Stir gently to combine all ingredients uniformly without overmixing.
Add Berries: Carefully fold in the mixed berries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter without breaking them up too much.
Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly to promote uniform cooking.
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is golden and the center is set but still moist.
Cool and Serve: Remove the bake from the oven and allow it to cool for 20 to 30 minutes before slicing. This helps the dish set fully and enhances the flavors.

Notes

Use fresh or frozen berries depending on availability; if frozen, do not thaw to avoid excess moisture.
For a sugar-free version, substitute honey or maple syrup with a natural sugar alternative like stevia or erythritol.
This bake can be made ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Serve warm or chilled, optionally topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of nuts for extra texture.
Almond flour provides a gluten-free base making this suitable for gluten-free diets.
