Cottage cheese gives these low carb Protein Bagels a wonderful texture and flavor. They're easy to make and have 13g of protein per serving. Perfect for breakfast or lunch!
Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
Place the cottage cheese in a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and whisk in the egg whites until well combined.
Add the almond flour, protein powder, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Use a rubber spatula to really work the ingredients together.
Wet or oil your hands and form the dough into 6 large balls. You will need to re-wet your hands for every ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet and press down with your palm to about 1 ½ inches thick.
Dip the end of a wooden spoon into some water and press into the center of each mound. Move the spoon in a small circle to make the hole a little bigger.
Brush the tops of the bags with melted butter or oil and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning.
Bake 18 to 22 minutes, until puffed and just beginning to brown. The bagels should be firm to the touch. Remove and let cool completely before slicing open.
