Dukan cheesecakes are prepared both in a frying pan and in the oven. They taste tender, aromatic and do not lose their taste even after cooling. These cheesecakes are no worse than regular ones, only healthier
How to make cottage cheese pancakes with oat bran
Ingredients:
- granular cottage cheese (fat content 9%) - 220 g,
- oat bran - 3 tbsp.,
- egg - 1 pc.,
- sweetener of your choice - I used Stevia sweetener
- vanillin packet
- salt - to taste
From this amount of ingredients I made 7 cheesecakes. By the way, you can take any bran you like.
Preparation:
- Crush 5 sweetener tablets into powder
- combine and mix all ingredients into a homogeneous mass
If you want the curd dough to be softer and more pliable, grind the curd through a sieve and grind the oat bran in a blender.
— the cheese mass should not be dense, otherwise the cheesecakes will fall apart even during formation
- the curd mass should not be overly wet - such a cheesecake will simply melt in a hot frying pan
- form small sized cheesecakes and fry in a preheated frying pan with added oil
To use as little oil as possible, I recommend frying cheesecakes in a non-stick frying pan or a frying pan with a thick bottom. Then a few drops of oil will be enough for you and the cheesecakes will turn out to be truly dietary - tender and not greasy
- fried cheesecakes on both sides, do not rush to remove from the pan - turn off the heat, cover the pan with a lid and let them cook for 7-10 minutes
While the cheesecakes are arriving, brew and serve fresh aromatic tea. Before serving, place the cheesecakes on a plate, garnish with powdered sugar and fresh berries. Or eat them with mashed berries, yogurt or sour cream. Enjoy your tea!
Thanks to the use of low-fat cottage cheese, cheesecakes according to Dukan can be consumed on any day of the diet and at the same time you will not need to worry that the dish will harm your figure. The products invented by a French nutritionist are not much different from ordinary ones: they are just as aromatic, satisfying, tender and sweet.
Classic cheesecakes and the French doctor's diet
Alas, the cottage cheese cakes familiar to us from childhood in their usual form do not fit into the famous weight loss system. Firstly, they contain flour, starch or semolina, without which the cheesecake simply will not hold its shape and will spread across the pan. But these products are prohibited in the first two stages of weight loss according to Dukan, Attack and Alternation! Secondly, the presence of sugar among the ingredients poses a difficult dilemma. If you leave the insidious “sweet poison” in the recipe, the loss of extra pounds will instantly stall, and if you exclude it, what kind of delicacy will it be? Finally, the cooking method itself - in a frying pan and in oil - contradicts all dietary norms.
How did the cunning Dukanites manage to keep delicious cheesecakes on their menu without sinning against the strict requirements of their mentor? Very simple. You just need to replace some harmful foods with others that are not only safe, but even beneficial for your waistline.
- Instead of sugar, use one of the natural sweeteners allowed by the diet. For example, stevia, which is almost universal: it has a minimum of contraindications, is not destroyed by exposure to high temperatures during cooking and does not contain calories.
- Replace flour and starch with chopped oat bran. So you will kill two birds with one stone - prepare elastic cheesecakes that perfectly retain their shape without “criminal” additives and use the daily amount of bran recommended by Dr. Dukan, which not everyone who is losing weight can eat dry without any problems.
- Use zero-fat dairy products. This applies not only to cottage cheese, but also to, say, yoghurt or kefir. By the way, experienced Dukanites advise giving preference to grainy cottage cheese: it gives the final dish greater fluffiness and a special flavor note.
Beautiful, appetizing, and your waist is safe
To make the cheesecakes 100% dietary, it is best, of course, to bake them in the oven or double boiler. This cooking method has two advantages. Firstly, extra calories and carcinogens will bypass the body, and secondly, you will get 30–40 minutes of free time, which you can spend on a more enjoyable activity than dancing at the stove. But if, like many others, you find special charm in fried cheesecakes, it doesn’t matter. Just choose a frying pan with a thick bottom and a non-stick coating for your culinary masterpieces, and at the same time get a culinary brush. This will minimize the consumption of vegetable oil when frying.
Is it possible to eat cheesecakes while losing weight?
This question is relevant for those who are trying not to gain weight and bring their parameters closer to ideal. Eating cheesecakes while losing weight is allowed, the main thing is to reduce their fat content to a minimum: bake or fry the cottage cheese cakes, adding a drop of olive oil. For example, a delicate light curd dessert according to the Dukan diet can be prepared at any phase of the diet, but during alternation it can also be supplemented with a delicious rhubarb sauce: the greens should be stewed with cinnamon, blended with a blender and served as a healthy sauce that does not contain fructose.
Cheesecakes according to Dukan for attack
Those who have been on diets or are just planning to get their body in order are familiar with the short but effective period when you can eat exclusively protein foods. Regardless of your current weight, any diet, even a five-day diet, should begin with this action. Cheesecakes according to Dukan for attack can be consumed not only in the active phase of weight loss, but also when consolidating the achieved result.
Having undergone a five-day diet, which includes stages such as attack, alternation and consolidation, every woman or girl (and even man) will say goodbye to a significant part of excess weight, which will certainly become a significant and effective incentive to continue losing weight. The beauty of the Dukan menu is that it has many delicious dish options, and curd cheesecakes with various additives are a clear confirmation of this.
Attack, Alternation or Consolidation?
Great news for gourmets! Cheesecakes prepared according to the recipes of Monsieur Dukan and his followers can be eaten at any stage of weight loss. With a small clarification:
- If the recipe includes only cottage cheese, eggs, bran, sweetener and protein supplements (yogurt, cheese), you have a dish that is allowed during the strictest period of the diet - Attacks. And everything that is allowed to be enjoyed at this time is automatically allowed on all subsequent days.
- If you have a burning love for unsweetened cheesecakes with dill, parsley, green onions and other herbs, or you have an uneasy appetite for berries, it is better to start introducing them into the menu from the Alternation (Cruise) period.
- As soon as you get to a less restrictive Consolidation, start pampering yourself with homemade cheesecakes made with starch twice a week.

Dr. Dukan allows you to enjoy low-fat foods at any stage of the diet. Ready-made classic cheesecakes according to Dukan in the oven have the following nutritional value: proteins - 44.63, fats - 6.96, carbohydrates - 14.99. These calculations will suit you provided that you add stevia as a sweetener and bake the products rather than fry them, because even a spoonful of butter will raise the calorie content to 433 kcal per 100 grams.
- eggs (or yolks) – 2 pcs.;
- oat bran – 1.5 tbsp. l.;
- stevia - to taste;
- oil (if you fry the products) – 1 tbsp. l.;
- low-fat cottage cheese – 200 g;
- cinnamon or vanillin - to taste.
- Mix all the ingredients (except vegetable oil) collected according to the list in a bowl, then mix them well until the mass becomes pureed.
- Divide the workpiece into small parts and form the desired number of curd cakes.
- Place the future food on a baking sheet and place it in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. Before placing the products on a baking sheet, it is advisable to cover it with high-temperature-resistant paper, because when baking almost all Dukan dishes, the use of oil is not recommended.
- The delicacy can be served in 25-30 minutes.
What to serve the delicacy with?
- At the Attack stage, pour cheesecakes with low-fat cottage cheese or drinking yogurt, whipped in a blender with sweetener, lemon zest, cinnamon, vanilla or fresh mint leaves.
- During Alternation, seasonings become more varied. For example, you can use yogurt with pieces of fruit, but without sugar. By the way, in the expanded version of his technique, Dr. Dukan allowed some liberties for those with a sweet tooth; in particular, treat yourself to sweet yogurt, provided that its amount does not exceed 100 g per day.
- During the Consolidation period, you can afford more interesting gravies. For example, dietary condensed milk.
Mix 3 tbsp. l. skim milk powder with 1 tbsp. l. starch, pour a glass of hot milk with zero fat content, add a few sweetener tablets (determine the quantity based on your taste). The resulting mixture needs to be heated in a microwave oven at 800 W for 5 minutes.
Attention! Every 60 seconds, the microwave will need to be stopped and the condensed milk should be stirred thoroughly so that there are no lumps.
The nutritional value of homemade condensed milk is 321 Kcal, fat - 1.14, proteins - 22.37, carbohydrates - 53.46.
As you can see, even while on a diet, you can not deny yourself your favorite dishes. The only thing that is required of you is to choose a recipe that contains only products allowed at this stage, and... that’s it! Enjoy cheesecakes to your heart's content and lose weight.

The French doctor recommends strictly limiting the daily intake of oat bran when losing weight.

If you have already eaten the required amount of a healthy supplement, but decided to enjoy dessert, then Dukan cheesecakes without bran are just what can help you out.
- eggs – 2 pcs.;
- grated lemon zest – 0.5 tsp;
- cottage cheese – 150 g;
- sweetener - to taste.
- Combine all the components specified in the recipe for future cheesecakes. If you want to add a “chocolate” note to the dessert: you can replace the citrus zest with a teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa, but remember that then the calorie content and nutritional value of the dish will increase slightly.
- Grind the ingredients using a spatula until they turn into a homogeneous mass.
- Preheat the oven by setting the temperature to 190 degrees.
- Pour the curd dough into the mold and bake for 20 minutes.
Features of dietary cheesecakes
Dukan cheesecakes differ from regular ones in taste, as there are changes in the recipe. At the same time, “healthy” methods of execution only add to their merits. When baked in the oven or steamed, they do not burn or stick to the bottom and walls of the dish, which often happens when frying traditional cheesecakes.
Another plus is that for those half an hour while the dish is baking in the oven (cooked in a double boiler), you are completely free and “open” to other household chores.

Products baked in the oven bring much more benefits to the human body than fried in a frying pan. A good example of this is cheesecakes with bran instead of flour, the recipe for which was invented by the famous nutritionist Pierre Dukan. For those who want to diversify their diet and get rid of excess weight problems, this step-by-step recipe will help.
- salt - a pinch;
- oat bran – 1.5 tbsp. l.;
- eggs – 2 pcs.;
- low-fat cottage cheese – 200 g;
- sweetener - to taste;
- unsweetened yogurt or kefir - 2 tbsp. l.
- Turn on the oven immediately so that it has time to heat up to 200 degrees.
- Beat the white parts of the eggs until thick foam.
- Place cottage cheese and sugar substitute in a bowl, stirring and gradually pour in kefir. After this, you need to carefully stir into the mixture first the bran, then the yolks and the whipped protein part.
- Pour the curd mixture into the molds and bake. Cooking time can vary from 15 to 30 minutes - here you look at the size of the cheesecakes. In order for Dukan products to remain fluffy, they need to be allowed to stand for 10 minutes in the oven that has already been turned off.
Recipes for dietary cheesecakes
But what Dukan offers is not the only possible option for making cheesecakes.
Below are creative reimaginings of the classics. By mixing one composition, you can get several dishes at once. Main Ingredients
- Low-fat cottage cheese (6 tbsp - approximately 200 g).
- One egg.
- “Dukan trick” - oat bran (2 tbsp.).
- Salt (to taste, standard amount is a pinch).
Additional Ingredients
- Finely chopped dill (in my version, fresh frozen).
- Unsweetened white and/or fruit yogurt - fat content 0-2%.
- Grated yoghurt cheese.
- Sweetener.
Cooking technique
- The main ingredients are mixed in a blender. A mixture that is too thick can be slightly diluted with yogurt or kefir, but not to a liquid state - the formed balls should keep their shape. Next, divide the resulting curd mass in half.
- To the first, add finely chopped fresh (or frozen) herbs for baked cheesecakes. Secondly, a sweetener - for sweet steamed cheesecakes. The total quantity (depending on the size of the balls) at the output is approximately 6-7 pieces.
You can adjust the ratio of sweet and “green” cheesecakes at your discretion. As a result, you get two dishes - a nutritious main (with herbs and cheese) plus dessert.
To prepare steamed cheesecakes according to the recipe “A la lazy dumplings” you need:
- If you don’t have a double boiler, then build a two-story structure on the stove. The first floor is a pan one-third to half filled with water, the second floor is a pan with a bottom “in holes.” Place the sweet cheesecakes on the second floor and close the top with a tight lid. When boiling, reduce the heat to low.
- At the same time, cheesecakes with herbs are placed in a preheated oven and a timer is set for half an hour. Ready-made “lazy cheesecakes”, although not so attractive in appearance, satisfy the need for “sweets” very well.

To get such delicious Dukan products for breakfast as in the photo, you just need to follow such simple tips as, for example, adding starch to the dough. It is important to note that you should not indulge in this kind of delicacy more than once a week, and it is recommended to consume dessert exclusively at the stage of the Dukan dietary complex called consolidation. Cheese pancakes with corn starch are very easy to prepare, as the recipe below proves.
- sweetener - to taste;
- egg – 1 pc.;
- low-fat cottage cheese – 200 g;
- baking powder – 0.5 tsp;
- corn starch – 1 tbsp. l.
- Transfer the cottage cheese from the package into a bowl, add sugar substitute, baking powder, and starch. Using a fork, beat the egg into the ingredients and grind them thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
- Grease the frying pan with a silicone brush dipped in olive oil, and place the formed curd cakes on the hot surface. Fry each until a beautiful golden hue.
- Serve the finished treat with sour cream or top with sugar-free yogurt.
Recipe No. 2, a little more complicated
Now let's look at another method, a little more complicated. As a result, from the above ingredients you will get approximately 14-15 small cheesecakes. We will need two tablespoons of oat bran, one of wheat bran, which does not need to be ground, low-fat cottage cheese, cow's cottage cheese - 200 grams, two whole eggs, one spoon of starch, sweetener and olive oil to taste. Combine both types of bran in a deep bowl with corn starch and sweetener, mix. Beat in the eggs one at a time until the mixture beats a little.

The delicacy will appeal to those people who are tired of traditional, monotonous cottage cheese desserts. To make these Dukan cottage cheese pancakes more piquant, you may need some herbs and a handful of your favorite berries. Having chosen this dish, it is worth considering that the berries should have a minimum calorie content, for example, cranberries are perfect.
- cottage cheese – 100 g;
- egg – 1 pc.;
- oatmeal bran – 2 tbsp. l.;
- kefir – 2-3 tbsp. l.;
- dill or berries – 2 tbsp. l.;
- sweetener - to taste;
- salt – 0.25 tsp.
- Mix cottage cheese, egg and oat bran. Mix the mixture and then divide it into two parts.
- Prepare the berries: if the fruits are dried, soften them in warm water for half an hour in advance.
- Add finely chopped dill to one part of the dough and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Add chopped berries and a little sweetener to the other half.
- You can start heat treating the cheesecakes: you can fry them by pouring a small amount of vegetable (or olive) oil into a frying pan or bake them in the oven at 200 degrees for about 25 minutes. It is worth noting that cooking in the oven is considered more acceptable during a diet.
How often do you want to treat yourself to something tasty and sweet? But often what is tasty is also harmful, so desire remains a desire. And for those who are on a diet, it is even more difficult, because a special diet involves strict restrictions on the food consumed. However, do not rush to get upset, there are many recipes for dishes that are not only very healthy, but also extremely tasty, which means that even those who carefully monitor their figure can afford them. Such dishes include cheesecakes with bran in the oven. They are not fried in oil, but simply baked, which gives them dietary status. They are also sweet, nutritious, easy to prepare, and the ingredients are inexpensive.
Preparation
Mash the cottage cheese well until it has no lumps and mix all the other ingredients in a large bowl.
Line a baking sheet with parchment or grease with oil. It is better to take olive oil, as it is healthier (although it has a specific smell).
Wet your hands with water and form small cheesecakes.
After preheating the oven to 180 degrees, place the pancakes there for 20 minutes.
The cheesecakes are very tasty, and most importantly, much healthier than those fried in a frying pan.
The nutritional value of such a dish is 512 kcal, fat content - 27, protein - 40, carbohydrates - 26. But if instead of sugar you take a sugar substitute, for example stevia, the calorie content will decrease to 433 kcal (although sweeteners can harm the body if there are too many of them frequently used).
Useful tips
- To increase the usefulness of cheesecakes, instead of sugar, take a sugar substitute, for example, stevia.
- You can take low-fat cottage cheese and thus reduce the calorie content of the dish.
- To avoid mixing the mixture with your hands, use a blender.
- Some housewives place the curd mass in baking molds. You can get some kind of Dutch cheesecakes. Try it!
