Values are for the first option listed in the ingredients; substitutions and variations change them. Carbs exclude fiber; energy uses the EU conversion factors (fiber at 2 kcal/g).

Quantities and times are a starting point: adjust them to your taste. Two things don't change: poultry and ground meat must be cooked all the way through, and allergens — always check the labels.

Protein oat bagel

Homemade bagels with just oats and cottage cheese, no hours of proofing.

Rico's note: Keep these bagels on hand in the freezer — take one out the night before, let it thaw, and in the morning all that's left is to toast it.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour (125 g / 4½ oz)
  • ½ cup cottage cheese (100 g / 3½ oz)
  • 1 tsp baking powder (4 g)
  • salt, to taste
  • 1 egg yolk (18 g / ¾ oz) — for brushing
  • seeds, as needed — optional, for sprinkling

Method

  1. In a bowl, mix the oat flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt.
  2. Blend the cottage cheese (in the blender or with an immersion blender) until creamy and add it to the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula until you have a dough you can shape.
