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 thoroughly to prevent sticking.
Blend Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a blender or food processor, combine the full-fat cottage cheese and eggs. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring an even texture.
Mix Dry Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture into a bowl. Add almond flour, your choice of sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar-free alternative), vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder. Stir gently until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Fold in Berries: Carefully fold in the mixed berries to the batter, making sure they are evenly distributed without breaking them apart.
Pour and Spread Batter: Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking dish. Spread it evenly across the dish to allow uniform baking.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating it’s set.
Cool and Serve: Remove the bake from the oven and let it cool for 20 to 30 minutes. This allows it to firm up, making it easier to slice and serve.

Notes

Use fresh or frozen mixed berries according to availability; no need to thaw frozen berries before folding them into the batter.
To make it sugar-free, opt for a sugar-free sweetener alternative instead of honey or maple syrup.
This bake can be served warm or chilled, and leftovers should be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
Almond flour provides a gluten-free, low-carb alternative to regular flour, but you can substitute with oat flour if preferred.
