½ teaspoon of garlic powder (optional)

½ teaspoon of onion powder (optional)

½ teaspoon salt
05 -
1 tablespoon of baking powder

1½ cups of almond flour
→ Wet Ingredients
07 -
2 large eggs
08 -
1 cup cottage cheese
09 -
1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
10 -
1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup
→ Toppings
11 -
1 tablespoon of sesame seeds or Everything Bagel seasoning
12 -
1 egg, beaten for brushing
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn on your oven to 375°F (190°C). Get a baking sheet prepped by either laying some parchment paper on it or greasing a bagel mold lightly.
02 -
Toss the cottage cheese, eggs, honey or syrup, and apple cider vinegar into a blender or food processor. Blend it all together until you get a nice, smooth mix.
03 -
Use a big bowl to mix almond flour, salt, baking powder, shredded cheese, garlic powder, and a tiny bit of onion powder.
04 -
Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the bowl with the dry stuff. Stir until it all comes together into a dough that feels thick.
05 -
Break your dough into 4-6 parts. Roll each piece into a sausage shape, then twist it into a circle. Pop them either onto the baking sheet or into the bagel mold.
06 -
Brush the tops with the beaten egg for sheen. Sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or Everything Bagel seasoning over the top.
07 -
Put your bagels in the oven for 20-25 minutes until they’re nicely golden and feel firm. Let them sit for about 10 minutes once out of the oven before slicing.
08 -
These are amazing warm! Pair them with butter, cream cheese, avocado, or anything you like.
# Notes:
01 -
Stick with full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier texture.
02 -
Blending guarantees smooth dough—otherwise, you might find lumps.
03 -
Stop stirring as soon as the dough forms. Overmixing is a no-go.
04 -
Stick them in the toaster before eating if you love a bit of crunch.
