Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Everything but the bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth.1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the blender and blend until a thick dough forms. If the mixture is too thick for your blender, transfer it to a bowl and mix by hand.2 cups almond flour, 1 large egg, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon Everything but the bagel seasoning
- Roll the dough into a log about 8 inches long and 2 inches wide.
- Cut into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then shape it into a bagel. Use your finger to poke a hole in the center and gently widen it.
- Optional: Brush each bagel with egg yolk (egg wash) for a shiny, golden brown finish.
- Sprinkle with seasoning (like Everything But the Bagel) or any topping you like.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
- Air Fryer Option: Preheat to 320°F (160°C). Place bagels in a single layer in the basket and air fry for 10-12 minutes, checking for golden tops.
Notes
- If the dough feels too sticky, add 1-2 tablespoons of almond flour. If too dry, mix in a bit more cottage cheese.
- Blend the cottage cheese well to avoid lumps.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Use coconut flour instead of almond flour, but reduce the amount.
- Greek yogurt can replace cottage cheese for a softer texture.
- Use your favorite seasoning if you don’t have Everything Bagel.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, fridge for 1 week, or freezer for up to 1 month.
- Try these cottage cheese and almond flour bagels with my Everything Bagel Whipped Dip, Garlic & Herb Whipped Dip, Italian Whipped Dip, or Feta & Paprika Whipped Cottage Cheese.
