Description

These Keto Cottage Cheese Bagels are a low-carb, high-protein alternative to traditional bagels. Fluffy inside, slightly crisp outside, and versatile enough for breakfast sandwiches or snacks, they’re easy to make and ideal for anyone following a keto or gluten-free diet.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Dough

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Toppings (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Cottage Cheese Mixture – In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Mix well until fully blended. If you prefer, you can blend the mixture for a smoother dough.
  3. Mix the Dough – Add the almond flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir until a thick, sticky dough forms. If the dough is very wet, let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  4. Shape the Bagels – Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. With damp hands, roll each piece into a log and form a circle, pinching the ends to seal. Place the shaped bagels onto the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Add Egg Wash & Toppings – In a small bowl, whisk one egg. Brush the tops of each bagel with the egg wash. If you like, sprinkle everything bagel seasoning or your favorite toppings over each bagel.
  6. Bake – Bake in the preheated oven for 25-28 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  7. Cool – Allow the bagels to cool on the baking sheet for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps them set and makes them easier to handle.

Notes

  • Cottage cheese can be blended for a smoother dough, but it’s not strictly necessary.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; toast before serving for best texture.
  • You can freeze the bagels—thaw and reheat in a toaster or oven.
  • Different toppings like sesame or poppy seeds work well, too.
  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best texture and flavor.
