Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 350℉.
In a large bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, sea salt, freeze-dried strawberry powder, and brown sugar. Mix until combined, then press into a dough ball using your hands.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth, adding more flour as necessary to reduce stickiness.
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces, rolling each into a ball and lightly flattening it. Create a hole in the center of each flattened piece with a rounded spoon or your finger, ensuring it stays open during cooking.
Brush each bagel with the egg wash on both sides.
Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and air fry the bagels for 6 minutes. Flip them over and cook for an additional 6 minutes. You might need to do this in two batches.
Remove the bagels from the air fryer and cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add vanilla extract to the dough.
These bagels can be enjoyed warm or toasted for a crunchier texture.
Experiment with different toppings like cream cheese, butter, or fresh fruit.
