3. Mix the dough: In a bowl, combine blended cottage cheese, oat flour, and baking powder. Stir until a dough forms.
4. Shape the bagels: Divide the dough into 4-6 portions. Roll each into a log and form into a bagel shape.
5. Egg wash (optional): Brush each bagel with a beaten egg for a golden finish.
6. Add seasoning: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning generously on top.
7. Bake: Place bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
