Cauliflower Bagels
These chewy, fluffy, crusty bagels are made with cauliflower! These bagels are low carb, Keto, flourless and gluten-free. You can eat them for breakfast, as bread for a sandwich or as a snack with some nut butter.
Ingredients
- 4 cups finely chopped cooked cauliflower reduced to 1½ cups dried cauliflower
- ½ cup ground flaxseed meal
- 16 Almond Nut-Thins crackers finely crushed
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 cups shredded low mosisture part skim mozarella cheese
- 4 large eggs
- everything bagel seasoning or seasoning of your choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, add dried cauliflower, flaxseed meal, Nut-Thins, baking powder, cheese and 3 eggs. Mix until everything is well combined and moist.
- Pack batter into a ½ cup measuring cup. Be sure to press down and compact the batter to keep it from crumbling. Turn the measuring cup upside down onto prepared baking sheet and shake the cup so the batter slides out, holding it's form. Repeat this step with remaining batter.
- Use one finger to create a hole in the center of each bagel. Then slowly stretch and widen the hole. Round the edges and top of the bagel with your hands. When you are finished, the bagel should be about the size of a cake donut and the outside should be as smooth as you can get it.
- Whisk the remaining egg and brush on bagels. Sprinkle generously with everything bagel seasoning.
- Bake bagels for about 20-22 minutes or until tops are a dark golden brown. When you touch the top of the bagels, they should bounce back rather than collapse in.
- Store any uneaten bagels in the refrigerator or freezer. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven.
Notes
- If you cannot eat mozzarella cheese, substitute with 2 cups of cottage cheese.
- These bagels are not as smooth and puffy as regular bagels. They will only rise a little and be about the size of a donut.
- Use your favorite spice mix in place of everything bagel seasoning if you want to switch it up!
- Try these bagels for a snack with nut butter.
