Easy Low Carb Cottage Cheese Bagel Recipe! Keto Friendly bagels | Ready in 30 minutes!

Viral Low-Carb Cottage Cheese Bagels Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat for creaminess)
1 cup almond flour
2 tablespoons coconut flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
1 tablespoon poppy seeds (optional, for topping)
1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Prepare the Cottage Cheese:
In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese until smooth. This will help it mix better with the other ingredients.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Add the blended cottage cheese, eggs, and apple cider vinegar to the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick dough forms. The dough will be sticky but should hold together well.
Shape the Bagels:
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and shape each portion into a ball. Flatten slightly and use your fingers to create a hole in the center, forming a bagel shape. Place the shaped bagels onto the prepared baking sheet.
Add Toppings:
If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning over the top of the bagels.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the bagels to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them as is or with your favorite low-carb toppings, such as cream cheese, avocado, or smoked salmon.
Tips:
Blending the Cottage Cheese: Blending cottage cheese smooths out its texture, making it easier to incorporate into the dough.
Handling Sticky Dough: Wetting your hands makes handling the sticky dough much easier.
Storage: These bagels can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They also freeze well for up to a month.
Presentation and Video Tips:
Step-by-Step Visuals: Show the blending of the cottage cheese, mixing of the ingredients, shaping of the bagels, and adding toppings. Quick, clear shots will help viewers follow along easily.
Highlight Texture: Emphasize the smoothness of the blended cottage cheese and the final texture of the baked bagels.
Topping Variations: Show different topping options to appeal to various tastes and make the recipe feel customizable.
Serving Suggestions: Present the bagels with a variety of low-carb toppings to inspire viewers on how to enjoy them. Here are some of my favorite Products - Affiliate Links below

People would really hate me because I never separate my wet and dry ingredients. Everything goes into one bowl and I mix it all together. Comes out perfectly fine. I'm glad you show the "mistakes" though. It makes your videos so much more real and FUN.

You know, I have gotten so that I actually prefer thinner bagels, but the ones off the shelves are TOO thin, Especially Thomas' brand keto bagel thins. The ones YOU JUST MADE, dude, are absolutely perfect for me! And sugar, I also ABSOLUTELY love your 'realness'. That you operate in the kitchen just like us and .... YOU LET IT BE SEEN! That right there keeps me a fan for life. Don't change a thing, dahrllin'. Don't. Change. A. Thing. I just can't wait to try this recipe out. IDK if I will get to them today or not, but when I do make these, I will letchall know what I think.

[@DonnaClements-l4m]

I also just gotta add that I became addicted to bagels in 1979, when I was doing my externship in a dentist office and we all went to the local Jewish deli every day for lunch. a bagel & cream cheese and a chef salad. OMG so good. Currently, I go to a bagel deli type eatery and grab my favorite onion one ---- once in a while. Not even on a monthly basis. they are awesome, but i AM trying to bring my diabetes under control, so I don't let myself have them on the regular. THANK YOU for bringing guilt free bagels into my life! Now I can indulge to my heart's content.

[@blissbelle2167]

Just made these, I did add an extra tablespoon of coconut flour. They turned out pretty good. I had half with butter and half with cream cheese. I will definitely make them again. Thank you.

[@rosepaul9681]

I wondered about adding extra coconut flour. It is supposed to absorb moisture or help thicken wet batters. The cottage cheese might have been on the wet side.

[@michelelukowski144]

I love that you make mistakes and don’t edit them out! I always think I’m following the directions but nope I always add something too early or some other stupid mistake! I tell myself to read the directions before you do anything but again I don’t listen to my own advice! You have a new follower! Keep making us laugh!

Going to try these! For a "rounder" and thicker bagel, try rolling the dough into a long tube and THEN take the tube and shape into a bagel.

[@Mouse-fw8el]

😂do you think such a sticky dough could be rolled?❤

[@deborahjones-gd2je]

Just need to add a little more almond flour or coconut flour...

[@sangdy]

Try this instead: Use a it in a piping bag or Ziplock bag with a hole cut out, brush insides with a tiny bit of oil, and pipe it big circles for better control.

I like how you present your vids... I wouldn't have thought to snip the parchment paper that way, but that's a genius hack! I usually just struggle with a too big piece... So definitely, thanks for keeping it real... I also really loved your mess-up at the beginning, bc that's something we all do. Maybe, you could show how to salvage those ingredients, or turn them into something else at the end of your vid as an outtake, or what to do when you mess up remedy... we're all struggling with food prices so high, so it would make more sense to find a solution to mistakes than to toss out perfectly good food~ just an idea!

Your video was great. Mistakes give it charm and reality. I’ve been there and done that. Sometimes letting the mixture with almond and coconut flours sit for five to ten minutes great job.make them less sticky, for future reference. I wear kitchen cooking, (disposable), gloves when I need to shape these kind of doughs. They stay wet longer, and they tend to not stick so much. But I had learn it as well.

Wonder if putting the dough (covered/wrapped) in the fridge for 30 minutes would firm it up even more?
