A healthy, high-protein twist on the German Quarktaler, these baked or air-fried discs are soft, slightly sweet, and packed with dairy protein — perfect for breakfast, snack, or dessert.
250g quark (or Greek yogurt)
2 eggs
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (30g)
2–3 tbsp sweetener (erythritol, maple syrup, or monk fruit)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
100g all-purpose flour
50g oat flour
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
Optional: ½ tsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) or air fryer to 330°F (165°C).
In a bowl, whisk quark, eggs, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla, and lemon zest.
Stir in flour, oat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix into a thick dough.
Shape 8–10 small disks and place on a parchment-lined baking tray.
Bake for 18–20 minutes or air-fry for 10–12 minutes until golden and set.
Cool slightly before serving. Optional: brush with melted butter and sprinkle cinnamon sweetener.
Use Greek yogurt or skyr if quark is unavailable. Make gluten-free by using GF flour blends. Store in fridge for 5 days or freeze up to 2 months.
