Ingredients
Scale
Base 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
Fruits
- 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 Base: Blend the cottage cheese and eggs in a blender or food processor until smooth and creamy to create a consistent batter.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a mixing bowl and mix in almond flour, sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or alternative), vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder until fully incorporated.
- Fold in Berries: Gently fold the mixed berries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them up too much.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and spread it evenly for uniform cooking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set (a toothpick inserted should come out clean).
- Cool and Serve: Let the bake cool for 20 to 30 minutes on a rack before slicing to ensure firm, clean pieces.
Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese and strain any excess liquid beforehand to avoid a watery texture.
- If using frozen berries, do not thaw before adding; toss them in almond flour to prevent sinking to the bottom.
- Allow the bake to cool completely before slicing for the best texture and clean slices.
