Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups Full-Fat Cottage Cheese (strained to remove excess liquid)
  • 3 large Eggs
  • ½ cup Almond Flour
  • ¼ cup Honey or Maple Syrup (or sugar-free alternative like monk fruit or stevia)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 2 cups Mixed Berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries; fresh or frozen)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend Base: In a blender or food processor, combine full-fat cottage cheese (strained) and eggs. Blend until smooth and creamy to form a custard-like batter, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl. Add almond flour, sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar-free alternative), vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder. Stir gently just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  4. Fold in Berries: If using frozen berries, keep them frozen and toss them with a tablespoon of almond flour to absorb excess moisture. Gently fold the mixed berries into the batter to distribute them evenly without breaking.
  5. Transfer and Spread: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is fully set (a toothpick inserted should come out clean and the center should not jiggle).
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the bake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20–30 minutes before slicing. Cooling ensures firm squares and prevents sogginess when cut.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese and strain any visible liquid (whey) before blending to prevent watery bake.
  • If using frozen berries, do not thaw. Toss them in almond flour before folding to minimize moisture leakage.
  • Do not overmix after adding dry ingredients; this helps maintain the right texture.
  • Bake until the center is set to avoid underbaking and soggy texture.
  • Let the bake cool completely before slicing for clean, firm pieces.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Reheat individual slices in the microwave for 30–40 seconds or warm in a 300°F oven until heated through.
