Cheesecakes with carrots in the oven

Carrot syrniki baked in the oven is a cozy dish of Ukrainian cuisine that combines the tenderness of cottage cheese with the light sweetness of carrots. These airy syrniki have a soft texture, a golden crust, and a subtle aroma of vanilla or zest if these components are added. Historically, syrniki are a classic Slavic treat, but adding carrots gives them extra juiciness and lightness. They are perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack. Baked in the oven, they are less fatty than fried counterparts and pair excellently with sour cream, honey, or berry sauce. Each piece is infused with the warmth of home cooking, reminiscent of childhood and cozy family mornings.

Possible additions - zest, vanilla, raisins, candied fruits, poppy seeds.
