Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 cups Cottage Cheese Use full-fat for the best texture; low-fat may reduce the richness.
  • 3 Eggs Room temperature eggs blend better, so soak in warm water if needed.
  • ¼ cup Honey or Maple Syrup Choose based on preference; both work well.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Use pure vanilla for the best results.
  • 1 Lemon Zest Zest from one lemon.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Approximately 2 tbsp juice can be yielded from a small lemon.
  • ⅔ cup Almond Flour Substitutable with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder No specific substitutions required.
For the Flavor
  • 1 cup Raspberries Fresh or frozen (do not thaw) can be used.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • 8x8 inch baking dish
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish; consider lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of cottage cheese, 3 room temperature eggs, ¼ cup of honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, the zest of one lemon, and the juice of that lemon until well combined.
  3. Gently fold in ⅔ cup of almond flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder until no dry flour remains.
  4. Carefully add in 1 cup of raspberries, folding them in gently without breaking apart.
  5. Transfer the batter into your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  6. Place your baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes.
  7. Allow the bake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before cutting into 9 squares and serving.

Notes

For an indulgent twist, serve warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a drizzle of maple syrup. Overmixing can lead to a dense bake; gently fold to maintain lightness.
