Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup cottage cheese Use low-fat or regular cottage cheese.
  • 1 cup oats (blended into flour) Blend oats in a food processor until fine.
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour) Use whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
  • 1 large egg Large egg for binding.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder Leavening agent for bagels.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Optional for extra flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder Optional for extra flavor.
  • 1 pinch salt To taste.
  • as needed sesame seeds For topping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Blend the oats into a fine flour using a food processor or blender.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, oat flour, all-purpose flour, egg, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Stir until everything is well mixed. The dough will be sticky!
Shaping and Baking
  1. Lightly flour your hands and divide the dough into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball, then poke a hole through the center with your finger and gently stretch it into a bagel shape.
  2. Place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.
  3. Bake for about 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Serving
  1. Once baked, remove them from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite toppings!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3–4 days. These bagels can also be frozen for up to a month. To reheat, toast or warm them in the oven.
