Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Toppings (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine the full-fat cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder (if using), and salt. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
- Shape Bagels: Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then poke a hole through the center to create the classic bagel shape.
- Add Toppings: Place the shaped bagels onto the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning on top for added flavor and texture.
- Bake Bagels: Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bagels from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. They are delicious plain or with your favorite keto-friendly toppings.
Notes
- Using full-fat cottage cheese helps achieve a moist and tender texture.
- Make sure to poke the hole through the dough balls well to keep the bagel shape during baking.
- Optional garlic powder adds a subtle savory flavor to the bagels.
- Customize with different toppings like poppy seeds, dried onion flakes, or coarse salt if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
