Ingredients For the Berry Base

• 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen, chopped)
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 cup raspberries
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Protein Mixture

• 1 cup Greek yogurt (high-protein, plain or vanilla)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• Pinch of salt

Optional Toppings

• Extra berries for garnish
• A drizzle of honey
• Almond flakes or chopped nuts

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or coconut oil.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Add honey, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss gently and spread evenly into the bottom of the baking dish.
3. In another bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, eggs, oats, protein powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.
4. Pour the protein mixture evenly over the berry layer, making sure it covers all the fruit.
5. Gently tap the dish on the counter to remove air bubbles and ensure even spreading.
6. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and set in the center.
7. Remove from oven and allow it to cool for 10–15 minutes so it firms up properly.
8. Slice and serve warm, or refrigerate for a chilled, cheesecake-like texture.

• This recipe is perfect for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• You can swap berries with cherries or mixed frozen fruits if needed.
• For a dessert version, add a small drizzle of dark chocolate on top.
