How this is calculated
Target amount = ingredient amount × target servings ÷ base servings. The result is then rounded for kitchen use: from 100 g or ml to the nearest 5, between 1 and 99 to the nearest 1, pieces and spoons to half units, amounts below one unit to quarters, thirds or halves. Teaspoons and tablespoons also go down to an eighth, kilograms and litres stay finer.
Total = value per serving × target servings. The value per serving is unchanged, because ingredient amount and serving count change by the same factor.

- European Commission, Guidance document for competent authorities for the control of compliance with EU food law, setting of tolerances for nutrient values declared on a label, December 2012.
Nutrition values are estimates from the recipe record, not laboratory results. Even for checked labels the EU sets tolerances: for fat, protein and carbohydrates 20 percent in the range of 10 to 40 g per 100 g, and 2 g per 100 g below that. Home cooking varies more, because variety, size and cooking loss of the ingredients differ. Kitchen rounding also shifts the total slightly against the plain rule of three. Anyone who has to keep amounts exact for medical reasons, for example during a nutrition therapy prescribed by a doctor, should discuss them with a doctor or a registered dietitian.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 150C (fan 130C) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Separate the eggs. Thoroughly mix the yolks with the low-fat quark, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and protein powder.
- In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff. The stiffer they are, the better your oopsies will turn out.
- Gently fold the whisked egg whites into the yolk and quark mixture, keeping in as much air as possible.
- Spoon the mixture into 6 mounds (or fewer, larger ones, depending on the size you want) on the prepared tray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until golden to your liking. Serve warm for the fluffiest results.

Frequently asked questions
Are cinnamon oopsies really gluten-free?
Yes, this recipe is made entirely without flour. Just check that your protein powder and baking powder are labelled gluten-free.
Can I leave out or replace the protein powder?
You can swap the protein powder for ground almonds. Adjust the amount by feel, as almonds soak up a little more moisture.
How do I store oopsies and can I reheat them?
Oopsies taste best fresh and warm. They'll keep in the fridge for a day; a quick warm-up in the oven or toaster brings back some of their fluffiness.
How many calories are in cinnamon oopsies?
Each oopsie has an estimated 105 calories and around 11 g of protein. Exact figures depend on the protein powder you use.
