Make easy, high-protein bagel bites using cottage cheese as the base ingredient for a macro-friendly snack or breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese, drained well
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the drained cottage cheese and egg into a food processor. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Add the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt to the food processor. Pulse until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
  4. Scoop the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
  5. Roll each portion into a small ball, then flatten slightly into a thick disk shape, resembling a mini bagel.
  6. Place the bites on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with water or an egg wash if desired.
  7. Sprinkle the tops evenly with everything bagel seasoning and Parmesan cheese, if using.
  8. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  9. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Drain the cottage cheese thoroughly; excess moisture prevents the dough from forming correctly. Press it between paper towels if needed.
  • For a savory variation, add 1/2 teaspoon dried onion powder or dried dill to the dough mixture.
  • These bites store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
