Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup (225g) cottage cheese
- 4 medium eggs
- ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons almond meal
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 tablespoons canola oil (or melted butter)
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup, plus extra for serving
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 10×7-inch (25×18 cm) baking dish to prevent sticking during baking.
- Blend batter: Add the cottage cheese and eggs to a blender and blend until smooth. Then add the all-purpose flour, almond meal, baking powder, canola oil (or melted butter), and maple syrup, blending again until the mixture is fully combined and uniform.
- Pour and bake: Pour the blended batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden and the center is baked through but still soft and tender to the touch.
- Serve with toppings: Once baked, top the Cottage Cheese Bake with berries or your favorite toppings. Drizzle additional maple syrup on top for extra sweetness, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Substitute canola oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- Ensure the baking dish is properly greased to avoid sticking.
- The bake should be soft in the center when done; avoid overbaking to maintain a tender texture.
- Maple syrup adds sweetness but can be adjusted or replaced with honey according to taste.
- Optional toppings can include fresh fruits, nuts, or yogurt.
