If you love baking with cottage cheese, this collection of cottage cheese cakes is for you. Here you’ll find creamy cheesecakes, cheesecake bars, fudgy brownies, banana bread, and other easy cakes, all made with cottage cheese and no refined sugar.

Cottage cheese adds moisture and a boost of protein while creating a soft, satisfying texture in these recipes. All of these cakes are made without refined sugar, using naturally sweet ingredients such as ripe bananas, honey, or other simple alternatives.

They’re easy enough for everyday baking but special enough to share with family and friends.

If you’re looking for a way to use cottage cheese in something a little different from the usual pancakes or small desserts, I hope you find a new favorite here. Slice up a loaf, cut the brownies into squares, or enjoy a creamy cheesecake straight from the fridge.
