PP cheesecakes in the oven

What are PP cheesecakes

To prepare dietary cheesecakes, it is not necessary to use zero-fat cottage cheese; a product with a fat content of 5% is also quite suitable. Cheesecakes will turn out to be higher in calories, but also more healthy, since calcium is practically not absorbed from low-fat cottage cheese.

The cottage cheese must be ground well or beat in a blender until it becomes homogeneous.

You can add raw eggs to cheesecakes, but you can do without this ingredient. In some recipes, yolks are excluded; only whipped whites, which contain no fat, are added to the dough.

Flour is added to regular cheesecakes; a dietary version can be prepared without this ingredient. You can replace flour with semolina, but the caloric content will practically not differ from those prepared with flour.

Healthier versions of cheesecakes are prepared with oatmeal, rice or corn flour. You can add apples or other fruits.

But you need to be careful with sugar. Instead, you can use sweeteners, or completely avoid sweet additives.

Advice! Be sure to use spices - vanilla, cinnamon, lemon zest. These additives will significantly improve the taste and add an appetizing aroma.

Cheese pancakes are baked in the oven. If the dough is thick, then it is formed into balls, which are placed on a baking sheet covered with a silicone mat or parchment.

If the dough turns out watery, then it is better to put it in silicone molds. It is advisable to use silicone ones, since they do not need to be lubricated with oil.

Interesting facts: cottage cheese is a product ideal for weight loss; it can be eaten at any time of the day, including in the evening. The recommended amount of cottage cheese depends on the calculated protein intake. As a general rule, it is recommended to consume 1 gram of protein for every kilogram of weight.

You need to take half as much baking soda as baking powder, that is, half a teaspoon.

Advice! You can add washed and dried raisins to the dough. And since this dried fruit is sweet, you can reduce the amount of sugar.

The finished dough for cheesecakes needs to stand for at least half an hour so that the cereal has time to swell. It is in this case that the cheesecakes will turn out soft and airy.

How to make dietary cottage cheese pancakes

To reduce the nutritional value of a dish, you can follow the simplest path - remove unnecessary high-calorie ingredients from the recipe. Be sure to leave only the curd, because this is the basis of the dish. Only this product should be taken low-fat or completely fat-free. Next is flour, which makes the dish richer. Without it, it is easy to prepare dietary cottage cheese pancakes using semolina, but this cereal is not low-calorie. In this case, it is better to take oatmeal or bran.

In the oven

The energy value of dietary cheesecakes in the oven is about 170 kcal per 100 grams of product. You can bake them in different ways - simply in the form of small cakes on a baking sheet or in silicone molds. The last option is especially often used if the cottage cheese is too wet and spreads. The entire baking process will take about half an hour on average. The recommended temperature is 180 degrees.

In a steamer

Cheese pancakes in a double boiler also turn out light, tender, and tasty. The design of the latter is easily replaced by an ordinary pan of water and a colander. With this processing, the dish is as healthy as possible, so it is suitable not only for dietary, but also for baby food. From the ingredients according to the recipe, usually cottage cheese, eggs and flour, the dough is simply kneaded, which is placed in special molds for muffins or cupcakes. Next, the workpieces remain to be baked on the lower level of the double boiler. Steamed dietary cheesecakes take about 20-30 minutes.

In a frying pan

It is necessary to neglect frying in a frying pan. This process makes the dish greasy and even saturated with carcinogens. If cheesecakes without frying do not seem so tasty to you, then try replacing sunflower oil with olive oil. In this case, at least the dish will not contain carcinogens. Diet cheesecakes in a frying pan are allowed, but the dishes must have a non-stick coating.

In a slow cooker

Dietary cheesecakes in a slow cooker are no less tasty. In this case, it is important not to use “wet” cottage cheese, otherwise the dough will simply fall apart. The “Baking” mode is suitable for cooking. You will need very little oil. The pieces will fry similarly to the method with a non-stick frying pan. They cook in about 30-40 minutes. You can also make dietary cheesecakes in a steamed slow cooker.

Curd cheese pancakes with banana

Adding fruit to cheesecake dough improves their taste. Let's prepare cheesecakes for proper nutrition with banana.

200 gr. cottage cheese;
2 gr. sweetener or sugar to taste;
50 gr. rice flour;
1 ripe banana;
1 egg.

Place the cottage cheese in a bowl, grind thoroughly with the addition of sweetener or sugar and a raw egg. When the mass becomes completely homogeneous, add rice flour to it and mix.

Advice! If you don’t have rice flour at home, you can replace this ingredient with oatmeal, which needs to be ground in a coffee grinder.

The banana for making cheesecakes should be ripe, but without spots on the surface. You can mash the banana with a fork until it becomes puree and add this puree to the dough. Or you can cut the banana into small slices and also mix with the dough.

The dough may turn out runny (the consistency depends on the moisture content of the cottage cheese and the size of the egg). In this case, you don’t need to add more flour, just bake the cheesecakes in molds. If the dough turns out to be thick, then small cheesecakes are made from it in the form of flatbreads. Bake them in the oven at 180 degrees for about half an hour.

PP cheesecakes with apple

In this recipe, dietary cheesecakes are prepared with apples. To give the dish a sweet taste we will use honey. This product is healthier than sugar, but, unfortunately, no less high in calories.

200 gr. cottage cheese;
1 egg;
2 tablespoons honey;
1 apple;
5 tablespoons flour;
1 teaspoon baking powder.

Place honey in a mixing bowl. If it is very thick, then it needs to be heated quite a bit, but not heated to high temperatures. Already at a temperature of 38-40 degrees, honey becomes plastic and easily mixes with other ingredients.

Add raw egg and cottage cheese to honey. Blend everything using an immersion blender. The result is a light fluffy mass. Peel the apple and cut into small cubes or strips.

Advice! Grating is not recommended, since the apple releases a lot of juice with this method of chopping, and the dough may turn out liquid.

Mix the apple with the dough. We form small cakes from the dough or put it in small silicone muffin pans. Bake at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes.

1 egg;
50 gr. dark chocolate;
2 tablespoons cocoa;
sweetener or sugar to taste.

Mix cottage cheese with raw eggs and sweetener (sugar). Then add cocoa powder and stir until smooth. Then we begin to gradually add oatmeal or rice flour, add a portion, controlling the thickness of the dough. As soon as it becomes similar in thickness to sour cream, stop adding flour. Place the dough in molds or form small cakes.

Bake at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes. Remove the cheesecakes from the oven and immediately sprinkle them with finely grated chocolate. The temperature will melt it a little.
