Cheesecakes are one of the most delicious, healthy and simple desserts. Unfortunately, many are forced to deny themselves a tasty dish because of its calorie content - after all, cottage cheese is fried in a large amount of vegetable oil, which is not at all suitable for those who are watching their figure or sticking to a diet. But you can enjoy your childhood favorite dessert with a lighter heart if you cook it without oil. Diet cottage cheese in the oven is an excellent option not only for those who are counting the centimeters on their waist, but also for children - after all, vegetable fats are not good for children.
In addition, in our selection the dough is prepared without flour or semolina, which significantly reduces the calories in the finished dish. Several step-by-step recipes with photos will help you create a delicious, tender, healthy dietary dessert without much difficulty.

Diet cheesecakes without flour in the oven
An easy way to bake cheesecakes for the whole family without fussing with flour and frying, and besides, making them dietary is to use the oven. A juicy cottage cheese dish for breakfast will appeal not only to adults, but also to the little ones who don’t want to. You can add a little vanillin or vanilla sugar to the “children’s” dessert - the aroma of the curds will be more tempting, and the taste will be reminiscent of your favorite ice cream.
What we need for cheesecakes:
- cottage cheese – 400 g;
- eggs – 2 pcs.;
- granulated sugar – 60 g (optional);
- sour cream – 60 g + for greasing the tops;
- banana – 1 pc.
Products for 12 cheesecakes / 3-4 servings.
How to bake healthy cheesecakes in the oven
- Mix sour cream, eggs, sugar in a convenient bowl. If the cottage cheese is wet enough, you don’t need to use sour cream. It is worth noting that thanks to it the dish turns out more tender.
- Stir cottage cheese into egg mixture. It is recommended to grind the grainy homemade product through a fine sieve. However, this is not necessary, especially if you like to taste the “curds” in your dessert.
- Peel the banana and chop it into muffin tins. Silicone and parchment forms do not need to be greased; others should be “seasoned” with butter or vegetable oil.
- Spread the curd mixture over the bananas. Smooth the surface with a spoon.
- Grease the tops of the future dietary dessert with a small amount of sour cream so that the cottage cheese does not burn and the cheesecakes look appetizing. Place the curds in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for one hour.
- Remove the finished curd cheesecakes from the oven, allow to cool slightly, and then remove from the molds.
Flourless baked banana cheesecakes are ready! Dessert is served with fresh berries, yogurt, warm or cold. Unlike their fried “brothers,” oven-baked dietary curds, when cooled, remain juicy, soft, tender, and therefore are perfect not only for breakfast, but also as a snack that you can take with you to work or school.

Delicious dietary cheesecakes can also be prepared in the oven. In this case, the recipe is almost no different from the classic one.
Required ingredients:
- 150-200 grams of cottage cheese;

Grind the cottage cheese thoroughly through a sieve to make the cheesecakes more tender and airy. You can also use a blender instead of a sieve. Place the pureed cottage cheese in a large bowl, add the egg, flour and mix thoroughly. If desired, you can add a little vanillin to give the finished dish a richer taste. Mix all the ingredients until smooth, form into small balls and roll in flour.
Then place the finished cheesecakes on a baking sheet and place in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees. You need to bake the cheesecakes for 25-35 minutes until a golden crust appears.
Before serving, you can top the finished cheesecakes with fruit sauce. To do this, you need to grind any fruits or berries with a blender and mix them with low-fat yogurt.
I make cottage cheese pancakes without sugar and don’t regret it
Syrniki are a very ancient Russian dish; our great-grandmothers prepared them back in the 16th century. Syrniki are made from young cheese: clots of milk protein are called cottage cheese only in Russia; in the rest of the world this product is known as young cheese.
Actually, the group of young cheeses includes Italian ricotta, cream mascorpone and elastic mozzarella. These fledgling cheeses, like cottage cheese, do not need to languish on shelves in cellars - they are eaten right away. And since it’s cheese, it doesn’t have to be sweet at all!
Cheesecakes can become the main dish of dinner. Or you can have them for lunch. I admit, I have been experimenting with cheesecakes for a long time. I add lemon zest, mix in different spices, and torment my loved ones with tastings. This option is the best. After all, salted fish and cheese have been friends with each other for a long time. You probably love Philadelphia rolls, right? It's the same principle.
8-10 cheesecakes
Active cooking time 15 minutes, passive - 5 minutes
What you need: 600 g cottage cheese 2 eggs 1 tbsp. l. grated hard cheese ½ cup flour zest of 1 lemon ½ tsp. sugar 1/3 tsp. freshly ground black pepper pinch of salt 1 tbsp. l. odorless vegetable oil
For the sauce: 1 ripe avocado 4 tbsp. l. thick sour cream 1 tbsp. l. lemon juice ¼ small onion pinch of salt ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
For serving: 200 g smoked salted salmon or trout
What to do: Place cottage cheese in a bowl, add eggs, cheese, pepper, salt, zest and 2/3 flour. Knead the dough with your hands. If the cottage cheese is very wet, then get by with one egg and add a tablespoon of flour.
Sprinkle the dish with flour. Make cheesecakes with your hands one after another and roll in flour. The cheesecakes can be any size; I make them about 12 cm in diameter.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Place a non-stick frying pan over high heat, add vegetable oil, add cheesecakes and fry for 1-2 minutes on one side and one minute on the other. During this time, the cheesecakes should brown.
Place the cheesecakes on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 10-12 minutes. In the oven, the cheesecakes will rise and then return to their previous volume - this is a sign that the cottage cheese is baked inside.
Meanwhile, make the sauce. Finely chop the onion. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit and scoop out the pulp with a spoon. Place in food processor. Add the remaining ingredients for the sauce there. Beat for 3-4 minutes until smooth puree. Another way: mash the avocado with a fork and mix with other ingredients.
Serve the finished cheesecakes with avocado sauce and salted fish.
PP cheesecakes with banana
- cottage cheese 200 g
- sweetener 2 g
- rice flour 50 g
- banana 1 piece
- egg 1 piece
- salt 1 g
- sour cream for serving 50 g
If you decide to cook cheesecakes with banana in the oven, then for this you need to prepare the curd mass. Then spread parchment paper on a baking sheet and place the dietary curd cheesecakes rolled from the curd mass. Then you need to bake the cheesecakes in the oven for 20 minutes at 180 degrees. Cottage cheese pancakes prepared in the oven are much healthier than those fried in a frying pan from the point of view of proper nutrition and dietetics.
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.
Step-by-step preparation
Prepare the ingredients. To prepare dietary cheesecakes in the oven, we will need: low-fat cottage cheese (preferably no higher than 5%), a large egg or 2 small ones, vanillin (I have intensive vanillin), dried apricots if desired.
Wash dried apricots and dry. Cut into small pieces. Dried apricots can be replaced with raisins. But it would be preferable to have something like this, because no sugar is added to the cheesecakes. Without dried apricots it will be completely bland.
Separate the yolk from the white. Add the yolk to the cottage cheese and mix well until smooth. If the mass turns out too steep and dense, you can add a little milk. Or you can omit the addition and form the cheesecakes by hand.
Beat the whites into a fluffy, stable foam.
Gently fold the egg whites into the curd mixture with a spatula, being careful not to let the whipped egg whites settle.
Mix everything.
Add dried apricots to cottage cheese. Mix again until smooth.
Place the resulting mixture into silicone molds. Bake the cheesecakes in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 30 minutes. Remove the cheesecakes from the oven. Serve hot. Bon appetit!
By the way, nutritionists do not recommend eating completely low-fat cottage cheese. It is of little benefit to the body. Still, food must contain a certain amount of fats, proteins and carbohydrates, as well as vitamins and microelements. Otherwise, you can lose weight, but at the same time get a lot of other problems in the form of anemia, calcium deficiency and other “charms” of such diets. Everything should be in moderation. For example, do not eat delicious, but terribly fatty and carbohydrate curd mass (it contains whipped cottage cheese and butter), but you can easily afford cottage cheese with 5 to 9% fat content. Instead of sugar, add fresh or dried fruit. It will turn out no less tasty and nutritious.

- 2 tsp vanilla sugar (optional).
How to cook:
1. Place the cottage cheese in a deep bowl, break the egg and add flour. Pour all the sugar there.
It is important that the cottage cheese is dry - wet cottage cheese will fall apart during cooking.
2. Next, mix and mash the products (you can use your hands; it is also convenient to use a fork or masher). The mass should become soft, homogeneous and easy to mold.
3. Roll the resulting dough into balls (about 5-6), be sure to roll in flour and shape into cheesecakes. If the dough is still sticky, flour it again.

- I love small cheesecakes. I roll a sausage out of a ball of dough, press it on both sides between my palms and form beautiful pucks) I don’t roll it in anything, I fry it in a non-stick frying pan, well preheated, on both sides under a lid. But if you’re planning to fry it in oil -I recommend using coconut (or any other, although the calorie content will increase).
- Serve with homemade sour cream. If you are not a fan of healthy eating, then any topping from jam and condensed milk to whipped cream, honey and berries will do.

The nuances of preparing cheesecakes for diabetics
When preparing cheesecakes for type 2 diabetics, it is strongly recommended to take into account the following features:
- If the main ingredient is cottage cheese, it is advisable to give preference to the low-fat brand. Maximum rates can reach 5%.
- Instead of premium-grade wheat flour, which is undesirable for diabetics, the oat name is used. Buckwheat, flaxseed or corn flour will be no less useful.
- Adding sugar is unacceptable either to the curd mass itself or to berry and other sauces for obvious reasons.
- It is also recommended to avoid using synthetic sugar substitutes. The fact is that during the heating process they disintegrate and form harmful chemical components that are undesirable even for a healthy person, not to mention a diabetic.
Table of foods with high and low insulin index
Raisins can be used in a minimal amount, when adding them it is necessary to take into account the GI and calorie content of the final dish. It should also be taken into account that it is advisable to fry cheesecakes with sweetener over lower heat and, conversely, simmer for a little longer. If olive oil is used to prepare such a dessert, this will be another advantage for diabetics.
In addition, sometimes you can replace the main ingredient in cheesecakes, namely cottage cheese, which will make the dish less high in calories. The basic recipes, the most healthy and the least caloric, will be discussed below.
