Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup blended cottage cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 3 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberry powder
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350℉.
- In a large bowl, mix together the blended cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, sea salt, freeze-dried strawberry powder, and brown sugar. Combine using a silicone or wooden spoon, then press together to form a dough.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth, adding flour as necessary to prevent stickiness.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then lightly flatten it. Use a spoon or your finger to create a hole in the center and stretch it so it remains open during cooking.
- Brush the tops and bottoms of the bagels with egg wash.
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper. Air fry the bagels for 6 minutes, flip them, and fry for another 6 minutes, possibly in two batches.
- Remove the bagels from the air fryer and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve with your favorite bagel toppings.
Notes
For a sweeter flavor, drizzle with honey or maple syrup after cooking.
Adjust the amount of brown sugar according to your preference for sweetness.
Feel free to add fresh strawberries or other toppings for extra flavor.
