Ingredients
Main Bake:
1 cup cottage cheese
2 large eggs
¼ cup maple syrup or honey (or low-carb sweetener of choice)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup almond flour (or oat flour for nut-free option)
1 tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Optional: 2 tbsp raisins or chopped pecans
Optional Glaze:
2 tbsp Greek yogurt or cream cheese
1–2 tsp maple syrup
Splash of vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat & Prep – Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
Blend the Wet Ingredients – Blend cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Mix the Batter – Combine almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Add wet ingredients and stir until smooth. Fold in raisins or nuts if using.
Bake – Pour batter into prepared dish. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until set (toothpick test).
Cool & Glaze – Allow to cool slightly, mix glaze ingredients, and drizzle over the warm bake.
Serve – Cut into squares and enjoy warm.
