Can’t wait? Jump straight to the low carb bagel recipe!

Tree nut allergies greatly limit the ability to eat low carb. All of the “substitute” foods were out of reach to me because many of them contained almond or some other nut flour. I’ve tried coconut flour, but it never acted the way I wanted it to. When I tried to make a low carb bagel with it, it created a dry crumbly dough that didn’t hold up well. Finally, I found a great almond flour substitute, flax meal! Flax meal works well in recipes as a replacement for almond flour, and I’ve been using it ever since. The only drawback is that foods, like these low carb bagels, take on an odd color, but they taste great!

Low Carb Bagel Dough

The low carb bagel dough is created by combining flax meal, melted cheese, eggs, baking powder, and xantham gum together into a sticky dough that’s then rolled out and shaped into bagels.

I add Everything Bagel Seasoning to the low carb bagel dough as well as top them with it to add some extra flavor. They only take about 10 minutes to prepare and 12 minutes in the oven. When they come out they are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

They can be cut in half and toasted or eaten as is with butter or cream cheese. This dough also makes great dinner rolls!

Cuisine American

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 12 minutes

Total Time 22 minutes

Servings 6 bagels

Calories 321 kcal

Ingredients

• 1 tbsps Baking Powder Gluten Free
• 1/4 tsp xantham gum (optional)
• 2.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, whole milk
• 2 ounces cream cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Flaxseed Meal (I use Trader Joe's)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°

2. Put the cream cheese and mozzarella in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 2 minutes on high, stirring occasionally. If you don't have a microwave, don't worry I don't either, you can melt them together on the stovetop over low heat stirring constantly until they are combined and smooth.

3. Combine the eggs, baking powder, flax seed meal and xantham gum in a separate bowl. I prefer to use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. This is the point at which I add Everything Bagel Seasoning as well.

4. Once the cheese is melted and just combined, but not too hot, add it to the other ingredients and mix well. This takes some elbow grease if you're not using a stand mixer but once it's partially combined you can knead it on the counter to get everything combined. NOTE: The dough will be sticky.

5. Divide the dough into six equal portions, roll each out like a snake and then connect the ends to form a bagel shape.

6. Sprinkle with Everything Bagel Seasoning (optional)

7. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes or until the outside is browned and firm.

8. Let cool a few minutes then slice, toast or simply slather with butter or cream cheese and enjoy!
