Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese preferably full-fat for creaminess
- 4 large eggs
- 4 tbsp sweetener use allulose or erythritol
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp cornstarch or coconut flour
- 1 ½ cups berries divided
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) square baking dish. If making individual portions, grease muffin tins or ramekins.
- Add the drained cottage cheese, eggs, sweetener, vanilla extract, and cornstarch to a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Fold in 1 cup of blueberries along with the lemon zest, if using. Set aside the remaining ½ cup of blueberries for topping.
- Pour the batter into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is just set.
- Allow the bake to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with the reserved berries and a light sprinkle of sweetener, if desired.
Notes
Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture and best flavor. Make sure to drain any excess liquid before blending to avoid a watery batter.
Frozen blueberries can be used in place of fresh, but do not thaw them before adding. This helps prevent excess moisture and keeps the bake firm.
