Description
High Protein Triple Berry Bake is a delicious and nutritious dessert packed with protein from cottage cheese and enhanced with the sweetness of mixed berries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 480 ml full-fat cottage cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 60 g almond flour
- 60 ml honey or maple syrup (or sugar-free substitute)
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 4 g baking powder
- 300 g mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C. Lightly grease a 20×20 cm or 23×23 cm baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Combine cottage cheese and eggs in a blender or food processor, processing until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the blended mixture to a large bowl. Stir in almond flour, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold the mixed berries into the batter, ensuring even distribution without crushing the fruit.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly to level the surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes until the surface is golden and the centre is just set.
- Allow to cool in the dish for 20–30 minutes before slicing for clean, firm portions.
Notes
- For a sugar-free option, use a sugar substitute in place of honey or maple syrup.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter after adding the berries to keep them intact.
