Description

A protein-packed triple berry bake featuring creamy cottage cheese, almond flour, and mixed berries. This wholesome and delicious baked dessert offers a naturally sweet flavor enhanced by honey or maple syrup, with a tender texture and vibrant berry bursts, perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack.

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

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish to ensure the bake doesn’t stick during cooking.
  2. Blend Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, forming the base of the batter.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl. Add almond flour, sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, or sugar-free alternative), vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Fold in Berries: Gently fold in the mixed berries, being careful not to crush them. If using frozen berries, do not thaw; toss them lightly in almond flour before folding to prevent excess moisture.
  5. Pour and Spread Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly for uniform cooking.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up. Slice into portions and serve as a wholesome, high-protein treat.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese and strain excess liquid to prevent a watery texture.
  • If using frozen berries, do not thaw. Toss them in almond flour before folding into the batter.
  • Letting the bake cool completely before slicing ensures clean, firm pieces.
