These fluffy cottage cheese almond flour bagels are an easy, low-carb, gluten-free breakfast option with a soft, chewy texture and subtle almond flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups almond flour (about 192 grams), finely ground
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese (about 225 grams), drained slightly, small-curd variety
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Optional toppings: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the cottage cheese in a food processor or blender and pulse until creamy and smooth, about 30 seconds.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and apple cider vinegar until combined.
  4. Add the blended cottage cheese to the eggs and stir gently to combine.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk almond flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution.
  6. Slowly add the almond flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring with a spatula until a sticky dough forms. If too wet, add extra almond flour 1 tablespoon at a time.
  7. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions (about 80 grams or 2.8 ounces each). Roll each into a ball, then press your thumb through the center to form a ring.
  8. If desired, brush the tops lightly with water and sprinkle with optional toppings.
  9. Place the bagels on the baking sheet and bake for 25–28 minutes, or until golden brown and springy to the touch.
  10. Let the bagels cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Blending the cottage cheese until smooth is crucial for a fluffy texture. Avoid adding too much almond flour to prevent dryness. For a shinier crust, brush with beaten egg before toppings. Bagels can be prepared the night before and baked fresh in the morning. Freeze leftovers individually wrapped for up to 3 months.
