Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest and juice of 1 small lemon

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond flour or gluten-free flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the almond flour and baking powder until just combined to maintain a light batter.
  4. Fold in Raspberries: Carefully fold in the raspberries, being careful not to crush them, which preserves their texture in the bake.
  5. Pour and Spread: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly for uniform cooking.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the top is lightly golden.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use frozen raspberries straight from the freezer to prevent the bake from becoming soggy.
  • Full-fat cottage cheese yields the best texture; however, low-fat can be used with minor texture adjustments.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free when using almond or a gluten-free flour option.
  • Honey and maple syrup are interchangeable depending on your preference for sweetness and flavor.
