Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking dish.
In a food processor, blend cottage cheese and eggs until smooth for about 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and add almond flour, sweetener, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder. Stir well for about a minute.
Gently fold in the mixed berries, being careful not to crush them.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the bake to cool for 20-30 minutes before slicing.
