Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- Almond Flour – 2 cups
- Natural Baking Powder – 1 tablespoon
- Psyllium Husk Powder (natural gelling agent) – 2 tablespoons
- Sea Salt – 1/2 teaspoon
Wet Ingredients
- Eggs – 2 large
- Plant-Based Cream Cheese – 4 ounces
- Apple Cider Vinegar (natural) – 1 tablespoon
Toppings (optional)
- Sesame Seeds or Poppy Seeds – 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, natural baking powder, psyllium husk powder, and sea salt. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, plant-based cream cheese, and apple cider vinegar until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
- Shape the Bagels: Divide the dough into five or six equal portions. Lightly wet your hands to prevent sticking, then roll each portion into a ball. Press your thumb through the center of each ball to create a hole and form a traditional bagel shape. Place them on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Add Toppings and Bake: Brush the tops lightly with water or a beaten egg for shine. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or your preferred seasoning. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Cool and Enjoy: Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack to maintain texture. Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite spreads or fillings.
Notes
- Measure almond flour and psyllium husk powder accurately for the best dough consistency.
- Use fresh natural baking powder to ensure optimal rise.
- Handle the dough gently to keep the bagels tender inside.
- Customize toppings with seeds or herbs for varied textures and flavors.
- Allow bagels to cool completely before slicing or spreading to maintain their structure.
