Method
- Blend the cottage cheese first so the dough comes out smooth. Mix it with the almond flour and baking powder and knead until firm, adding a little more almond flour if needed.
- Shape into 8 bagels, brush with butter, and sprinkle with the seasoning. Bake at 350°F for 15-18 minutes, until golden. In the air fryer, cook at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.
What we changed and why
- Most baking powder contains cornstarch. Choose one made with arrowroot or potato starch.
- Check that it has no anti-caking agents.
Items marked "check" need a quick label read: corn hides in starches, dextrose, and vinegar.

Notes from our recipe log: Gluten-free as written with all almond flour. The creator's pro tip is an 80/20 almond flour to regular flour mix for better texture; skip that to stay gluten-free.

- Cheese: Nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor; Cashew-based cheese
- Cottage cheese: Lactose-free cottage cheese; Blended firm tofu (if soy is OK)
- Almond flour: Sunflower seed flour (it can turn green with baking soda; harmless); Tigernut flour
