Can I use low-fat cottage cheese instead of full-fat?

Yes, but full-fat provides better texture and more satisfying fat content for keto. Low-fat versions may make the dough wetter, so reduce other moisture slightly if needed.

Are these bagels freezer-friendly?

Absolutely. Freeze them in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in the toaster or air fryer for best results.

What can I substitute for almond flour?

You can try coconut flour, but you’ll need far less—start with 1/3 cup. For a nut-free version, sunflower seed flour works great.

How many bagels does the recipe yield?

This recipe makes 6 medium-sized bagels. You can scale it up or down depending on your needs.
