Easy Cottage Cheese Bagels
These Easy Cottage Cheese Bagels are made with 5 simple ingredients! Packed with protein, these delicious bagels are ready in 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Bagels:
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Toppings: (these are optional and versatile)
- everything bagel spice
- coarse salt
- coarse sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lightly oiling the surface. You can use a light spray of cooking oil, or use a pastry brush to spread on a some olive oil (I'm generous with the olive oil as you can see in the pictures). You can also line the pan with parchment paper if you prefer.
- In a mixing bowl combine 1 cup cottage cheese and 1 large egg. Mix well.
- In a separate mixing bowl combine 2 cups almond flour, 1 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well.
- Gather the bagel dough into a ball, then knead until smooth. The dough will be sticky, so mix it as well as you can.
- Split the ball into 6 equal portions.
- Roll each small piece into a ball, then make a hole in the middle. Use your hands to shape the dough into the classic bagel shape. I do this by pressing the ball into a disk, then make a hole in the middle. You might find it easier to finish the shaping once the dough is laid out on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place the bagels onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out evenly.
- Sprinkle on whichever toppings/seasonings you are using. You can use everything bagel spice, or coarse salt, or coarse sugar, it's up to you. Sometimes I make a mixture of different kinds. I find that the dough is sticky enough to hold the toppings, so no egg wash is necessary.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes. The tops of the bagels should be lightly golden brown.
