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.
