Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, psyllium husk, baking powder, and salt. Ensure everything is well combined.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, and softened cream cheese until smooth. If you're using cheese in the dough, mix it in at this stage.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well until a dough forms. It should be thick but pliable. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more almond flour.
Shape the Bagels
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then use your fingers to create a hole in the center, shaping them into bagels. Alternatively, use bagel molds to shape the dough.
Optional: Add Toppings
If you like, sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or "everything bagel" seasoning on top of each bagel. Gently press the toppings into the dough to help them stick.
Bake
Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Cool and Serve
Allow the bagels to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them with your favorite keto-friendly spreads or toppings!
