Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
Once cooked, transfer the syrniki to a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Serve warm with a sprinkle of powdered erythritol, or enjoy with a dollop of unsweetened Greek yogurt or a keto-friendly berry compote (optional).
