Ingredients

• 250 grams Full-fat cottage cheese
• 1 large Eggs
• 50 grams Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (for frying)
• 1 teaspoon Powdered erythritol (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, erythritol, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Use a fork or a whisk to mix until smooth. If you prefer a finer texture for your syrniki, you can blend the cottage cheese in a food processor before mixing.

Step 2

Add the almond flour and baking powder to the mixture. Stir until well combined. The dough should be slightly sticky but firm enough to shape into patties.

Step 3

Sprinkle a bit of almond flour onto your hands to prevent sticking, then divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small round patty about 1 cm thick.

Step 4

Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the syrniki in the pan (do this in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding).

Step 5

Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown. Be patient and adjust the heat if necessary to ensure they cook through without burning.

Step 6

Once cooked, transfer the syrniki to a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Step 7

Serve warm with a sprinkle of powdered erythritol, or enjoy with a dollop of unsweetened Greek yogurt or a keto-friendly berry compote (optional).
