Background

This gluten-free cherry and almond cottage cheese bake is a simple, nourishing recipe that's ideal for breakfast, a post-workout snack or an afternoon treat. It's naturally low in carbohydrates and rich in protein and calcium, making it a satisfying choice for anyone looking to support bone health or increase their protein intake.
Ground almonds give the bake a soft, moist texture, while fresh cherries add natural sweetness and bursts of fruit throughout. It's quick to prepare and can be baked in either the oven or the air fryer, making it a handy recipe for busy mornings.
Serve it warm straight from the oven or enjoy it chilled with a dollop of Greek yoghurt.
