Description

These Classic Cottage Cheese Almond Flour Bagels offer a low-carb, gluten-free alternative to traditional bagels. Made with simple ingredients like almond flour, cottage cheese, and eggs, they bring a moist yet chewy texture that’s perfect for breakfast or snacks. Topped with optional everything bagel seasoning, these bagels are flavorful, satisfying, and easy to make at home.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups almond flour (preferably finely ground, such as King Arthur brand)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (Good Culture brand recommended for moisture and texture)
  • 1 egg
  • 1.5 tbsp water

Topping (Optional)

  • Everything bagel seasoning (adds crunch and savory flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, and water until well blended and smooth. You can use a hand mixer or whisk thoroughly to break down the cottage cheese for a smoother batter.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate large bowl, mix the almond flour and baking powder thoroughly to ensure even rising.
  4. Form the dough: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms. If it feels too wet, add a little more almond flour; if too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time.
  5. Shape the bagels: Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Wet your hands slightly and roll each portion into a ball. Then, poke a hole through the center of each ball and gently shape to form bagels.
  6. Add seasoning: If desired, sprinkle the bagels with everything bagel seasoning to add flavor and crunch.
  7. Bake: Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and firm to the touch.
  8. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let the bagels cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • The texture will be slightly different from traditional wheat bagels but still wonderfully moist and chewy.
  • Use finely ground almond flour for best texture and consistency.
  • The cottage cheese can be blended before mixing to create a smoother dough.
  • Store leftover bagels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Feel free to experiment with different toppings such as sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or garlic powder.
