Description
Make quick, high-protein bagel bites using cottage cheese and almond flour. These bites are simple to prepare and work well for meal prepping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese, drained well
- 1 large egg white
- 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)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the drained cottage cheese, egg white, almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt into a food processor.
- Pulse until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Do not overmix.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. You should get about 12-14 bites.
- Lightly wet your hands and gently shape each scoop into a small, round bite shape.
- Sprinkle the tops of the bites evenly with everything bagel seasoning.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the bites are firm to the touch and lightly golden brown.
- Let the bites cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
Notes
- Drain the cottage cheese thoroughly using a fine-mesh sieve or by pressing it between paper towels to remove excess moisture. This prevents soggy bites.
- If you do not have a food processor, mash the cottage cheese very well with a fork before mixing by hand.
- You can air fry these bites at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes.
