Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese
2 large eggs
1 cup almond flour (or oat flour)
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
Optional: Everything Bagel seasoning for topping
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a blender or food processor, blend cottage cheese and eggs until smooth.
In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms.
Divide batter into 4 equal portions. Shape into bagels (or use a bagel mold) and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle with Everything Bagel seasoning if desired.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown and set.
Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Toast before serving for best texture.
These bagels also freeze well — thaw and reheat in a toaster oven.
Oat flour can be swapped for almond flour if you prefer nut-free.
