Ingredients

Scale

Batter 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 grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ease removal of the bake after cooking.
  2. Blend Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a blender or food processor, combine the full-fat cottage cheese and eggs. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring a well-incorporated base for the bake.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a mixing bowl. Add almond flour, honey or maple syrup (or your preferred sugar-free sweetener), vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder. Stir gently until all ingredients are combined evenly.
  4. Fold in Berries: Carefully fold in the mixed berries to the batter, being gentle to avoid crushing them and maintain their texture and color throughout the bake.
  5. Pour Batter into Dish: Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure uniform baking and a consistent texture.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Bake until the top turns golden brown and the center is fully set, indicating the bake is cooked through.
  7. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 20 to 30 minutes. Cooling helps the bake to firm up and makes slicing easier and cleaner. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Using fresh or frozen berries is acceptable; if frozen, do not thaw to avoid excess moisture.
  • For a sugar-free option, substitute honey or maple syrup with a preferred sugar-free sweetener.
  • Ensure the baking dish is well greased to prevent sticking.
  • Letting the bake cool fully will improve texture and flavor.
  • This bake is gluten-free due to the use of almond flour, making it suitable for gluten-sensitive diets.
