2 Ingredient Keto Cottage Cheese Bagels
These low carb and keto-friendly cottage cheese bagels couldn't be easier. You need just 2 ingredients to make the bagel dough and they are ready in about 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (183 g) blanched superfine almond flour
- 1 cup (220 g) small curds cottage cheese, 4% milkfat
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (or a silicone baking mat).
- Add almond flour and cottage to a large mixing bowl. Stir with a spatula until the cottage cheese is fully incorporated into the almond flour. Knead the mixture by hand for a minute or two until you have a cohesive and malleable dough. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured (using almond flour) surface.
- Divide the dough into six equal portions (I recommend using a scale to weigh the dough). Take each piece of dough and roll into a 6.5 inch rope. Take the two ends of a rope to form a circle, pinching the edges to seal the circle. (If your dough is breaking as you try to roll it or when you try to form a circle, then knead it a few times in your palm to make it more malleable). Place bagel onto prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing bagels at least 1 inch apart.
- If adding optional egg wash, add 1 egg and 1 tbsp water to a small bowl and whisk. Then brush beaten egg mixture over the surface of each of the bagels.
- If adding seasonings or toppings, sprinkle them on at this time. I added everything bagel seasoning without salt.
- Bake bagels for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked. If you are not using egg wash your bagels will be a little paler in color when they are done.
Notes
- These bagels are not the same size as regular bagels. They are about the size of baked donuts. They also don't have the same texture as regular bagels but they do have a bready texture.
- The egg wash is optional. It won't change the taste or texture of the bagels but it does help them bake up a more golden brown.
- Make sure to use a superfine almond flour. I use Kirkland brand sold at Costco.
- This recipe works best with a high protein cottage cheese like Good Culture brand. I used Good Culture brand (Amazon | Target)* which contains 14 grams or protein per 1/2 cup.
- I used salt-free everything bagel seasoning (Amazon | Walmart)*
