Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 1 egg yolk (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
- Blend the cottage cheese until smooth.
- Add all other ingredients to the blender and mix until well combined.
- Roll dough into a log about 8 inches long and 2 inches wide.
- Cut into 6 pieces and shape into bagels with a hole in the center.
- Optional: Brush each with egg yolk for shine.
- Sprinkle seasoning on top.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
- For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Customize toppings like sesame or poppy seeds.
- Dough fix: too sticky — add 1–2 tbsp almond flour; too dry/crumbly — add 1–2 tsp cottage cheese. Aim for a smooth, slightly tacky dough that holds its shape.
