Are everything bagel cottage cheese bites keto-friendly?

Yes! These bites are naturally low in carbs and packed with protein, making them a fantastic keto-friendly snack. The almond flour and cottage cheese combo keeps them satisfying without spiking blood sugar.

Can I use oat flour or regular flour instead of almond flour?

You can, but the texture will change. Oat flour results in a softer bite, while regular flour adds density and gluten. For a light, gluten-free snack, almond flour works best for these Everything Bagel Cottage Cheese Bites.

How long do cottage cheese bites last in the fridge?

Stored in an airtight container, they stay fresh for 3 to 4 days in the fridge. You can reheat them in the air fryer or oven to bring back that just-baked texture.

Can I make these bites without eggs?

Yes, but the texture will be softer and less structured. A flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water) can be used as a binder if you’re avoiding eggs, but the final result may not be quite as fluffy.
