A creamy, lightly set bake that works beautifully for breakfast, snacks, or dessert—and kids love it too!
⭐ Ingredients
- 2 cups full-fat cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
(or sugar-free alternative, to taste) - 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
🔥 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F. Grease or line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish.
- In a blender or food processor, blend cottage cheese and eggs until smooth and creamy.
(This step gives that cheesecake-like texture.) - Add almond flour, honey/maple syrup, vanilla, lemon zest, and baking powder. Blend again until well combined.
- Gently fold in the berries (if frozen, do not thaw).
- Pour mixture into the prepared dish and smooth the top.
- Bake 35–40 minutes, until the center is just set and the top is lightly golden.
- Cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
🍽️ How to Serve
- Warm with a spoon of Greek yogurt
- Drizzle with extra honey
- Dust lightly with powdered sweetener
- Serve chilled for a firmer, snack-style slice
💡 Tips & Variations
- For extra protein: add 1–2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
- Swap almond flour for oat flour if preferred
- Add chocolate chips for a kid-approved treat
- Stores well in the fridge up to 4 days
