Quick-baking, low-carb bagels made with almond flour and blended cottage cheese for a high-protein, satisfying breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale

2 1/4 cups almond flour (finely ground, like King Arthur brand)
1 1/4 cups cottage cheese, blended smooth
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water
Everything bagel seasoning, for topping (such as Trader Joe’s brand)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor or blender, blend cottage cheese until completely smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk almond flour and baking powder. Add blended cottage cheese, egg, and water. Mix until a thick dough forms.
  4. Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Shape each into a ball, then press a hole through the center to form a bagel shape. Place on prepared sheet.
  5. Generously top each bagel with everything seasoning, pressing it in gently.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and firm. Cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • For best texture, ensure cottage cheese is blended until no curds remain.
  • Bagels can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw and toast to serve.
  • Dough can be sticky; wet hands slightly for easier shaping.
  • For a glossy finish, brush shaped bagels with an egg wash before adding seasoning.
