Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/2 cup almond flour or gluten-free flour
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest and juice of 1 small lemon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: 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 to the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a light texture.
  4. Incorporate Raspberries: Carefully fold in the raspberries, taking care not to break them up too much to keep beautiful bursts of berry throughout the bake.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and gently spread it out.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the top turns lightly golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based ricotta alternative.
  • Use fresh raspberries when in season for the best flavor, but frozen raspberries work just as well.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup to your preference.
  • This bake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving.
  • To enhance the lemon flavor, add a little extra zest or a drop of lemon extract.
