Almond Flour Bagels Recipe

Introduction

If you’re looking for a gluten-free alternative to traditional bagels, these almond flour bagels are a delicious and simple option. They have a tender crumb and a lovely golden crust, perfect for breakfast or a snack. Plus, they are easy to customize with your favorite seasonings.

Ingredients

• 2 to 3 cups super fine almond flour
• 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (Fage brand recommended)
• 1 large egg
• Everything Bagel Seasoning (or seasoning of your choice)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, mix 2 cups of almond flour with 1 cup of Greek yogurt until combined. If the dough feels too wet, gradually add more almond flour until it is less sticky and easier to handle.
3. Step 3: Divide the dough in half and roll each half into a 12-inch log. Cut each log into 3 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a round bagel by rolling it slightly and forming a hole in the center. Place the bagels on the baking sheet.
4. Step 4: Beat the egg and brush it over the bagels. Sprinkle your chosen seasoning on top.
5. Step 5: Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until the bagels are golden brown and fully cooked. Let them cool completely before slicing, as they can be crumbly when warm.
6. Step 6: Toast the cooled bagels before serving. They pair wonderfully with cream cheese or peanut butter if seasoned simply with salt.

Tips & Variations

• Use super fine almond flour for the best texture and to avoid a grainy crumb.
• If you prefer a softer bagel, add a little more yogurt to the dough but adjust almond flour accordingly.
• Experiment with toppings like sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or garlic powder for different flavor profiles.

Storage

Store cooled bagels in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator for up to a few days. For best texture, slice and toast them before eating. You can also freeze bagels and thaw when needed, toasting afterward for a fresh taste.

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?

These bagels are specifically designed to be gluten-free using almond flour. Using regular flour will change the texture and may require a different recipe ratio.

How can I make the bagels less crumbly?

Allow the bagels to cool completely before slicing, and toast them to improve firmness. Adjusting the yogurt-to-flour ratio slightly can also help create a moister dough.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Bagel Dough

• 2 to 3 cups super fine almond flour
• 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (preferably Fage brand)
• 1 large egg

Topping

• Everything Bagel Seasoning (or any preferred seasoning blend)
• 1 additional egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the dough: In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of super fine almond flour with 1 cup of nonfat Greek yogurt. Stir thoroughly until combined. If the dough is too wet or sticky, gradually sprinkle in more almond flour until it reaches a firm, moldable consistency that is not overly sticky.
3. Shape the bagels: Divide the dough into two equal halves. Using your hands, roll each half into a 12-inch long log shape. Then, cut each log into three equal pieces. Take each piece and roll it slightly before forming it into a round bagel shape. Place all formed bagels onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring some space between each.
4. Apply egg wash and seasoning: Beat the remaining egg to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of each bagel with the egg wash to help them brown nicely. Sprinkle your chosen seasoning, such as Everything Bagel Seasoning, evenly over each bagel.
5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the bagels turn a beautiful golden brown and are fully cooked through. Adjust the baking time if needed for your oven, ensuring the bagels are not underbaked to avoid crumbly texture.
6. Cool and serve: Remove the bagels from the oven and allow them to cool completely before slicing. To enhance texture and flavor, toast the slices before serving. These bagels are delightful with cream cheese or peanut butter. Store leftovers in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator for up to a few days, and toast again before eating.

Notes

• If the dough feels too sticky, add almond flour in small increments until you get the right consistency.
• Using super fine almond flour is key for a smooth dough and better texture.
• The bagels will be crumbly if eaten while warm; always allow to cool first.
• Customize the seasoning on top to your liking – garlic, onion, sesame seeds, or just salt work well.
• Toasting the bagels before serving enhances their flavor and texture.
• Store in a sealed bag in the refrigerator; they keep well for several days.
