Low-Carb Bagel Recipe
Prep Time:
10 minutes
Cook Time:
15 minutes
Servings:
6 bagels
Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups shredded past-skim mozzarella (or other shredded cheese of your choice)
  • 1 ounce low-fat cream cheese
  • 1 ½ cups almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 large egg, whisked
  • ¼ cup Everything But the Bagel Seasoning (or another bagel seasoning of your choice)
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 F. Prep a baking sheet by covering it with parchment paper or a reusable silicone mat.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well with a spatula. Return to the microwave for another 30 seconds. The mixture should be fully melted and easily stirred.
  3. Add almond flour and baking powder to the cream cheese mixture. Stir to combine as much as possible.
  4. Add egg and stir in. At this point, the dough should become malleable. Work it in the bowl until it comes together into a ball.
  5. Transfer the dough onto the counter and divide it into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into a log of about 7 inches (it's best to start rolling from the middle and work your way to the sides). Bring the ends together and press them into a bagel shape. You will need to work quickly while the dough is warm and pliable. If the dough hardens, return it to the microwave for another 10 to 30 seconds.
  6. Sprinkle the bagel seasoning onto the bagels, and press on the tops to ensure the seasoning stays. Transfer bagels onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Place low-carb bagels into the oven and bake at 350 F for 15 minutes until the bagels have expanded and become golden brown. Let cool on a baking sheet for 5 minutes, and then transfer to the cookie drying rack to cool completely.
  8. Serve with toppings of your choice.
