Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 2 tbsp psyllium husk
  • 1 tbsp monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • Everything seasoning for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C) and place a baking stone or steel inside.
  2. Blend cottage cheese until smooth.
  3. In a bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk, monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gently fold in the blended cottage cheese, eggs, and vinegar until just combined.
  5. Form palm-sized balls and shape into bagels by pressing thumb through center and stretching outward.
  6. Boil each bagel in honey-water for 60 seconds, then remove and top with seasoning.
