Keto Bagels Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are melted and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients and eggs to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then shape into a bagel shape, poking a hole through the center.
- If using sesame seeds, sprinkle them on top of the bagels and press gently to adhere.
- Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Allow the bagels to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
