Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the ricotta, Greek yogurt, eggs, honey, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, vanilla protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Scatter the fresh or frozen berries evenly over the batter, gently pressing a few into the surface while leaving some on top.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. The center should be soft and slightly custardy.
- Let the casserole cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing into 6-9 squares.
- Serve warm with a drizzle of honey, extra berries, or a dollop of ricotta or Greek yogurt if desired.
