Ingredients
- 200 g firm tofu
- 50 g unsweetened plant-based yogurt
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 100 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp neutral cooking oil (e.g., avocado oil or sunflower oil)
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar or additional maple syrup (optional, for serving)
- 1 cup fresh fruit (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a food processor, combine the firm tofu, plant-based yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
Add the tofu mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms. If the dough feels too wet, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Step 4
Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small, round pancake about 2 cm thick.
Step 5
Heat 1 tablespoon of the cooking oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Carefully place half of the syrniki in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining oil and syrniki.
Step 7
Serve warm with powdered sugar, maple syrup, and fresh fruit, if desired.
