Equipment

  • Blender
  • Large Bowl
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Baking Sheet
  • Silicone Mat
  • Wooden Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup whole milk cottage cheese
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup unflavored whey protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon melted butter or oil
  • 1 tablespoon Everything Bagel Seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Get Ready to Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a silicone mat.
  • Blend the Wet Ingredients: Pop the cottage cheese into a blender and blend until it's super smooth. Transfer this creamy mixture to a large bowl, then whisk in the egg whites until everything is perfectly combined.
  • Mix in the Dry Ingredients: Add the almond flour, protein powder, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Use a rubber spatula to gently mix and combine all the ingredients until a dough forms.
  • Shape Your Bagels: Lightly wet or oil your hands (this helps with stickiness!). Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a ball. You might need to re-wet your hands for each one.
  • Flatten and Hole: Place each dough ball onto your prepared baking sheet and gently press down with your palm to about 1.5 inches thick. To make the classic bagel hole, dip the end of a wooden spoon in water and press it into the center of each dough mound. Swirl the spoon gently to widen the hole a bit.
  • Top Them Off: Lightly brush the tops of your shaped bagels with melted butter or oil, then sprinkle generously with Everything Bagel Seasoning.
  • Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until your bagels are beautifully puffed up and lightly golden brown. They should feel firm to the touch. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet before slicing and enjoying!
