Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon natural baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 3 large eggs (fresh)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- ¼ cup shredded plant-based cheese (optional)
Toppings and Variations (optional)
- Sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced onion (for everything bagel style)
- Fresh or dried rosemary or thyme (for herbal infusion)
- Extra shredded plant-based cheese (for cheesy twist)
- Ground cinnamon and pinch of sweetener (natural) (for sweet cinnamon version)
- Chili flakes (for spicy kick)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, natural baking powder, salt, garlic powder (natural), and natural gelling agent until well combined. This forms the base ensuring light yet structured bagels.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with apple cider vinegar (natural) and shredded plant-based cheese if using. This adds moisture, acidity, and a slight tang for balanced flavor.
- Combine and Form Dough: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir until the dough comes together. It should be soft but firm enough to shape. Add more almond flour if too sticky.
- Shape Your Bagels: Divide the dough into equal portions, roll each into a ball, then poke a hole through the center and expand it to create classic bagel shapes. Place on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Allow bagels to cool slightly before slicing.
Notes
- Measure almond flour carefully using a kitchen scale or by spooning into your measuring cup for best texture.
- Use fresh eggs for optimal rise and moisture.
- Do not skip the natural gelling agent to achieve chewiness and a proper bagel texture.
- Let bagels cool before slicing to maintain shape and firmness.
- Customize toppings by brushing water on bagel tops and adding seeds or seasonings before baking.
