Ingredients
1 cup almond flour
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ cup cottage cheese
1 large egg
Optional Toppings:
Sesame seeds
Everything bagel seasoning
Poppy seeds
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make the Dough:
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Add cottage cheese and egg, and mix until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms.
Shape Bagels:
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then gently shape into a bagel (donut-like) form. Place on prepared baking sheet.
Add Toppings:
Sprinkle sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning, or poppy seeds over the tops if using.
Bake:
Bake for 20–22 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Use full-fat cottage cheese for best texture and moisture.
Dough may be sticky — damp hands make shaping easier.
Store bagels in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
Delicious toasted with butter, cream cheese, or avocado!
