Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 4 bagels
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended.
- Add cream cheese and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly using a spatula or electric mixer until a smooth, consistent dough forms.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Using your hands, roll each portion into a ball, then carefully shape each ball into a bagel ring by creating a hole in the center.
- Place the shaped bagels on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of each bagel, gently pressing them into the surface.
- 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. These bagels can be sliced and toasted, and are perfect for sandwiches or with cream cheese.
Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the smoothest dough consistency.
- Use a silicone spatula or electric mixer to blend ingredients thoroughly, preventing any lumps in the dough.
- When shaping bagels, wet your hands slightly to prevent the dough from sticking.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different seed toppings like everything bagel seasoning or poppy seeds.
- Allow bagels to cool completely before storing to maintain their crisp exterior and soft interior.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 weeks.
- For best texture, toast the bagels lightly before serving to enhance their crispness.
- If the dough seems too wet, add a bit more almond flour; if too dry, add a little more cream cheese.
