How to Make Almond Flour Bagels (Overview)

Alright, let’s break it down! Start by mixing your dry ingredients in one bowl and whisking the wet ingredients in another. Combine them into a dough—you’ll notice how quickly it comes together! Don’t be afraid to get your hands in there; shaping them into bagels is just part of the fun.

How to Serve Almond Flour Bagels

How to Store Almond Flour Bagels

These bagels will keep well in the fridge for about a week. If you’re planning to save them longer, pop them in the freezer—they freeze beautifully! When you’re ready to enjoy, just reheat in the oven or microwave for a few seconds. They’ll taste almost as good as when they first came out of the oven.

Tips to Make Almond Flour Bagels

• Wet hands: When shaping the bagels, wetting your hands can help prevent the dough from sticking.
• Flatten them slightly: If you like a wider bagel, flatten them just a bit before baking.
• Swap sweeteners: If you’re not into honey, try agave syrup or leave it out altogether—these bagels taste great either way!

Variation

Feeling adventurous? Add herbs to the dough for a savory twist. Think dried oregano or garlic powder for a flavor explosion! Want them vegan? Swap the eggs for a flaxseed meal egg substitute—1 tablespoon flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water, let it sit for 5 minutes to gel.

FAQs

1. Can I make these bagels ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough and shape it, then refrigerate or freeze until you’re ready to bake.

2. How do I make these bagels lower in calories?
You can reduce the amount of honey or leave it out entirely. You won’t even miss it!

3. Can I substitute almond flour with another type of flour?
Almond flour has a unique texture, but if you prefer coconut or oat flour, just know it may change the bagel’s overall flavor and consistency.

So, are you ready for a new breakfast favorite? Enjoy crafting these delicious, homemade almond flour bagels! 🍽️
