- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup almond flour or oat flour 100g, for nut-free option
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- to taste Everything Bagel seasoning optional for topping
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly sprayed with cooking oil.
- Add the cottage cheese to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy without lumps.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs together and stir in the blended cottage cheese until well combined.
- Add the almond or oat flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the egg-cottage cheese mixture, and stir until a thick dough forms. Adjust consistency with more almond flour if necessary.
- Lightly wet your hands, divide the dough into four equal portions, roll each into a ball, and shape into bagels by poking a hole in the center and stretching it into a ring.
- Place the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with Everything Bagel seasoning if desired.
Baking
- Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and firm.
- Cool the bagels on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
