You could but I’ve done that in my testing and found it wasn’t as chewy without it and I like a chewy bagel.

I use lactose free plain cottage cheese 4%.

I already have whey protein in there so I would say use more of that since I haven’t tested the recipe without the coconut flour.

Sorry i do miss many of the comments on social, hard to keep up myself but thanks for coming to my website to ask. I have not tested the equip protein powder for this recipe. You can try Equip beef protein, but the texture will be different since whey isolate creates more stretch and structure in this baked bagel. Beef isolate tends to bake softer and denser. If you try it, I’d recommend the unflavored version and possibly reducing liquid slightly.

Thanks Jeanne!

replace with more whey

Can I use something besides collagen I don’t have that

How did they slice? Cooked or wet in the middle? If cooked through then you baked them enough. They are flat on the top and only round on the bottom of the mold. Nature of working without gluten or flour.
