Add the shredded mozzarella and olive oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 45 to 60 seconds until the cheese is fully melted and stretchy when stirred.
Blend the cottage cheese and egg until smooth with no visible lumps. Use an immersion blender or a small food processor.
Add the blended cottage cheese and egg mixture to the warm but not hot mozzarella. Stir until everything looks thick and glossy. It should be stretchy and creamy, not watery.
Stir in the almond flour, parmesan cheese, baking powder, garlic powder. Mix until a soft dough forms. It should feel slightly sticky but hold together.
Lightly oil your hands and your work surface. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each one into a rope about 5 to 6 inches long. Tie each rope into a simple knot, like you are tying a shoelace, and gently press the ends together if needed.
Place knots on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until puffed and lightly golden on top.
Melt the butter with minced garlic and parsley. Brush the knots generously and serve right away.

Notes

Shaping Tip: Don’t use almond flour to roll the dough. It’ll crack. Lightly oil your hands and surface instead for smooth, easy knots. Too soft? Add a spoonful of almond flour.Too dry? Add a small spoonful of cottage cheese. These are soft and fluffy, not chewy like bagels. Think buttery dinner roll meets garlic bread, but blood sugar–friendly.
