Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup assorted seeds (like sesame, poppy, and flaxseed)
• 2 tablespoons water
• 0 optional cream cheese (for serving, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum until well combined.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella cheese on high power in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted.

Step 4

Add the melted mozzarella cheese to the dry ingredients along with eggs and Greek yogurt. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms. It might be sticky at first, but keep mixing until well combined.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball, then use your fingers to shape it into a bagel by poking a hole in the center and gently stretching the dough outward.

Step 6

Place the shaped bagels onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush each bagel lightly with water using a pastry brush.

Step 7

Sprinkle the assorted seeds evenly over the top of each bagel, pressing them gently to adhere to the dough.

Step 8

Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes or until the bagels have risen and are golden brown.

Step 9

Allow the bagels to cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm, possibly with cream cheese or your favorite low-carb spread. Enjoy your homemade low carb seed-crusted bagels!
