These 3-ingredient cottage cheese bagels are a quick and easy alternative to traditional bagels, packed with protein and gluten-free.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup cottage cheese (preferably full-fat for creaminess)
1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, gluten-free flour, and baking powder. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
Lightly flour your work surface. Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope about 6 inches long and shape it into a bagel by pinching the ends together.
Place the shaped bagels onto the prepared baking sheet. You can create a small well in the center if desired to resemble a traditional bagel.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown. Keep an eye on them towards the end to ensure they do not overbake.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Enjoy warm or allow to cool completely before storing.
