Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 3 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 cup sesame seeds
• 2 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, add the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute until the cheese is melted and smooth, stirring halfway through to mix.

Step 4

Add the eggs into the melted cheese mixture and whisk until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Using a spatula or your hands, mix the dough until a smooth, firm ball forms.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a log, about 5-6 inches long, then connect the ends to form a ring, pinching to seal.

Step 7

Bring the 2 cups of water to a boil in a wide pot. Once boiling, gently drop 2-3 bagels at a time into the boiling water. Boil each side of the bagel for about 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Once all the bagels have been boiled, sprinkle the sesame seeds generously on top of each bagel.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 10

Allow to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your low carb Montreal bagels with cream cheese or your favorite toppings.
