Description

This High Protein Triple Berry Bake is a delicious and nutritious dessert combining creamy cottage cheese, mixed berries, and almond flour for a healthy treat. Perfect for breakfast or a protein-packed snack, this bake is easy to prepare and bake, delivering a moist, flavorful experience with a subtle sweetness from honey or maple syrup.

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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend Wet Ingredients: In a blender, combine the full-fat cottage cheese and eggs. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture into a mixing bowl. Add the almond flour, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder. Stir well to combine all ingredients uniformly.
  4. Fold in Berries: Gently fold the mixed berries into the batter. If using frozen berries, do not thaw them beforehand and sprinkle them with almond flour to prevent them from sinking.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter evenly into the greased baking dish, spreading it out smoothly with a spatula.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set and firm to touch.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let the bake cool for 20 to 30 minutes. Cooling completely ensures the bake slices cleanly into firm pieces. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese and strain any excess liquid to prevent the bake from becoming watery.
  • If using frozen berries, avoid thawing them prior to mixing; toss them with almond flour to help maintain texture and prevent sinking.
  • Allow the bake to cool completely before slicing to ensure firm and neat pieces.
