→ Dry Ingredients
01 -
¼ cup Parmesan or shredded mozzarella cheese
02 -
½ teaspoon onion powder (if you'd like)
03 -
½ teaspoon garlic powder (your call)
04 -
½ teaspoon salt
05 -
1 tablespoon baking powder
06 -
1½ cups almond flour
→ Wet Ingredients
07 -
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
08 -
1 tablespoon honey or pure maple syrup
09 -
2 eggs, large
10 -
1 cup cottage cheese
→ Toppings
11 -
1 egg, whisked
12 -
1 tablespoon Everything Bagel seasoning or sesame seeds
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and get a baking sheet lined with parchment or lightly grease a bagel mold.
02 -
Take your blender or food processor and blend together eggs, cottage cheese, apple cider vinegar, and honey (or maple syrup) until everything is smooth.
03 -
Grab a big bowl and whisk together almond flour, powdered garlic, onion powder, baking powder, salt, and shredded cheese.
04 -
Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until it turns into a thick, dough-like consistency.
05 -
Split the dough into 4-6 parts. Roll each into a rope shape, then connect the ends to make a bagel circle. Lay them on the prepared sheet or use your mold.
06 -
Brush each bagel with the whisked egg for a nice glaze. Sprinkle Everything Bagel seasoning or sesame seeds on top.
07 -
Pop the bagels in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until they're golden and firm. Let them cool for a bit, about 10 minutes, before cutting into them.
08 -
Enjoy warm, paired with cream cheese, some butter, or whatever spreads you love.
# Notes:
01 -
Get the best texture by using full-fat cottage cheese.
02 -
Blending the wet ingredients keeps lumps out of your dough.
03 -
Don’t overdo the mixing—stop once the dough comes together.
04 -
If you like crispy bagels, toast them before eating.
