Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Arrowroot flour
• 0.25 cup Flaxseed meal
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cup Sesame seeds
• 8 cups Water (for boiling)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, arrowroot flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.

Step 3

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, melted coconut oil, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball, then shape into a bagel by pushing your finger through the center and gently stretching to form a ring.

Step 6

Bring the 8 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Once boiling, reduce to a gentle simmer and carefully drop each bagel into the water with a slotted spoon. Boil for about 1 minute, flipping halfway through, to set the shape.

Step 7

Remove the bagels from the water and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Sprinkle sesame seeds generously over the top of each bagel.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the bagels cool on a wire rack before serving.
