Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 4 tablespoons cream cheese (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.

Step 4

Add the melted cheese mixture into the almond flour mixture along with the eggs.

Step 5

Mix all the ingredients until a dough forms. If the dough is sticky, you can knead it with slightly wet hands to make it more manageable.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball and then shape it into a bagel by pressing your thumb through the center to create a hole.

Step 7

Place each bagel on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of each bagel.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 10

Once cooled, spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese over the top of each bagel and sprinkle with chopped chives.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-carb bagels!
