Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond flour
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (low moisture, part-skim)
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning (optional)
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt until well mixed.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until melted and smooth.
- Quickly add the beaten eggs and apple cider vinegar to the hot cheese mixture. Stir vigorously until incorporated.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix until a cohesive dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a surface lightly dusted with almond flour. Knead for 1–2 minutes until smooth. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll into balls, then press a finger through the center of each to form a bagel shape.
- Place bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with toppings as desired.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Wet your hands slightly when shaping to prevent sticking.
- Do not skip xanthan gum—it helps give bagels their chewy texture.
- Store in the fridge up to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months. Reheat in the toaster or oven before serving.
