Low Carb Bagels
Making breakfast sandwiches out of these bagels beats out any fast food breakfast sandwich HANDS DOWN! Tim Horton's look out!
Ingredients
- 2 cups (226g) finely ground almond flour
- 1 TBSP baking powder, gluten free, sifted
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cups (340g) low moisture mozzarella, shredded
- 5 TBSP (85g) cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl combine almond flour, baking powder and dried spices. Blend thoroughly ensuring there are no lumps and everything is well mixed.
- In a large microwave-safe dish, place the cream cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese together and microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Remove from the microwave and stir. Microwave an additional 30 seconds or so until the mixture is soft and mixes together easily.
- Add the almond flour mixture to the cheese mixture and add the beaten eggs and yolk. Mix everything together until well blended.
- Wet your hand with cold water and take 1/6th of the dough and shape into a ball and then poke a hole in the middle with your finger to make it into a bagel shape. Place on baking sheet.
- Wet hands again and repeat this process until all the dough is used and you have seven bagels on your tray.
- Place cookie sheet in the middle of the rack and bake for approximately 13 - 14 minutes or until golden brown (you may want to turn your tray after 10 minutes of baking depending on how even your oven bakes).
- Cool on the cookie sheet for a minute and then transfer to a cooling rack.
- When completely cool, cut in half and build a breakfast sandwich!
- Store in an air tight container for up to 5 days in the fridge.
Notes
We like Kirkland Almond flour for it's low carb content, Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour is a good alternative if Kirkland (Costco) isn't available to you
These will keep for a few days in the refrigerator. I've popped them into the toaster just as the eggs finish up so they are nice and warm!
I have to say that the hardest part of considering to go low carb and then keto was giving up bread. I was a toast and coffee girl from way back and had a hard time working that one out. I eventually just went cold turkey about a year ago. Breakfast biscuits were a family favorite so I knew I had to work on coming up with some options eventually. These Low Carb Bagels are so delicious, I don’t feel like I am missing out on anything when I make a breakfast bagel out of one of these! You can fill them with whatever you like, some of our favorites are eggs, bacon, avocado, cheese, and tomatoes!
