Ingredients
- 250 grams Cottage cheese (low-fat or farmer's cheese)
- 2 large Eggs
- 30 grams Vanilla-flavored protein powder
- 40 grams Oat flour
- 10 grams Sugar or sweetener of choice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (or cooking spray for frying)
- 100 grams Plain Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)
- 50 grams Fresh berries (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, mash the cottage cheese with a fork until smooth or blend it briefly in a food processor for an even texture.
Step 2
Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and sweetener to the bowl. Mix until fully combined.
Step 3
Gradually stir in the vanilla-flavored protein powder, oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. The batter should be thick yet slightly sticky.
Step 4
Lightly flour your hands with oat flour (to prevent sticking), and divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round patty, about 1 cm thick.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil or spray it lightly with cooking spray.
Step 6
Carefully place the patties into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan—cook in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked syrniki to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil if needed.
Step 8
Serve warm with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt, fresh berries, or your favorite syrup for added flavor.
