- 0.5 cups Greek yogurt (Can substitute with cottage cheese)
- 1 tbsp Baking powder (Check freshness for best results)

- 1 cup Flour (Use almond flour for low carb or oat flour for a wholesome option)

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grate and drain the zucchini very well using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to remove excess moisture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, eggs, Greek yogurt, shredded cheese, baking powder, salt, pepper, and flour. Stir until a thick, sticky dough forms.
Shaping
- Divide the dough into 4 to 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball, then poke a hole in the center and gently widen it to form a bagel shape.
- Place the shaped bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Baking
- Sprinkle the top with everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, or additional cheese.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and set. If your bagels are larger, you may need to bake slightly longer.
- Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing to prevent crumbling.
Notes
For best texture, toast before serving. These bagels can also be frozen; slice them first, then freeze with parchment in between halves for easy toasting later.
