Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup flaxseed meal
- 1 tsp baking powder (natural)
- ½ tsp seasoned salt (natural)
Wet Ingredients
- 4 oz plant-based cream cheese (plant-based), softened
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent
Toppings (Optional)
- Poppy seeds or sesame seeds for sprinkling
- Water or grape juice (natural) for brushing
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder (natural), and seasoned salt (natural). In a separate bowl, blend the plant-based cream cheese (plant-based), eggs, and natural gelling agent until smooth and creamy. Gradually combine the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
- Shape the Bagels: Lightly dust a clean surface with almond flour. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Using your fingers, poke a hole through the center of each ball and gently stretch the hole to form a bagel shape.
- Add Toppings: Brush the tops of the shaped bagels lightly with water or grape juice (natural) to help the seeds adhere. Sprinkle with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or your preferred topping.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the bagels on a parchment-lined baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Measure ingredients precisely for best texture in keto baking.
- Use room temperature eggs and plant-based cream cheese (plant-based) for a smooth dough.
- Mix the dough only until combined to keep bagels tender.
- Use an oven thermometer to ensure accurate baking temperature.
- Let bagels rest for 10 minutes before slicing to help them hold their shape.
