Vegan syrniki
The tofu pancakes are juicy, fluffy and so delicious. They are a vegan version of the popular Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian syrniki or tvoroshniki. With this recipe, you can make the vegan syrniki quickly and easily with just a few purely plant-based ingredients.
Servings 8 pancakes
Ingredients
- 200 g natural tofu
- 1 very ripe banana
- 50 g soy yoghurt
- approx. 50 g rice flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch of ground vanilla bean
- 2 tbsp coconut oil for frying
Instructions
- Pat natural tofu dry, cut it into large pieces and squeeze each piece of tofu a little with a straining cloth or tea towel to remove the excess liquid.
- Finely chop the tofu with your hands and place it in a mixing bowl.
- Mash peeled banana with a fork and add it to the tofu.
- Add soy yoghurt and vanilla and mix.
- Add baking powder and rice flour and mix to a homogeneous, soft, malleable mass.
- Form small flattened patties from the tofu mixture.
- Place coconut oil in a large pan and melt over a medium heat.
- Fry the vegan syrniki in the pan over a medium heat until golden yellow to golden brown on both sides.
Notes
- Squeeze the tofu a little and pat it dry thoroughly. This way you won't need as much flour.
- The amount of rice flour specified may vary. If your tofu mixture is too mushy, add a little more flour. However, remember that the less flour you use, the tastier the vegan syrniki will turn out.
- You can add some raisins to the tofu mixture.
