Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1/4 cup Arrowroot flour
• 1/4 cup Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 cup Raw cashews
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 6 ounces Smoked salmon
• 2 tablespoons Capers
• 1/4 small Red onion
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill

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, whisk together almond flour, arrowroot flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the apple cider vinegar and honey.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Let the dough sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it slightly. Use your fingers to create a hole in the center to form a bagel shape.

Step 6

Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow them to cool on a wire rack.

Step 7

While the bagels are baking, prepare the dairy-free cream cheese. In a blender, combine raw cashews, lemon juice, water, nutritional yeast, and garlic powder. Blend until smooth and creamy. If needed, add more water one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Step 8

Thinly slice the red onion and set aside.

Step 9

Once the bagels are cool, slice them in half horizontally.

Step 10

Spread the cashew cream cheese generously on each half of the bagel.

Step 11

Layer smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese. Add a few capers and slices of red onion to each bagel half.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh dill and serve immediately.
