Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup protein powder
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon honey or sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, cinnamon, and baking powder. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended.
- In a separate small bowl, beat the eggs and honey together until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture and stir until a thick, sticky dough forms.
- Gently fold in the raisins, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each portion into a bagel shape on the prepared baking sheet. Use wet hands to smooth the surface and create a uniform ring.
- Create a small hole in the center of each bagel and slightly widen it to ensure even baking.
- Optional: Sprinkle additional cinnamon on top of the bagels for extra flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
