I consider bagels to be the equivalent to pizza but for breakfast. They’re addictive and you can never get sick of it. The added bonus is that you can have them savory or sweet! Going paleo I though these were one of the foods I’d never eat again. Boy was I wrong, I eat them way more frequently now than ever before.
These bagels are so awesome to have on hand on a busy week day morning. It’s the perfect grab and go breakfast. Whip these up on Sunday and you’re set for the whole week. Double the batch if you’re feeding a few people.
My favorite part about these is that you don’t have to boil them and then bake which adds a whole extra step. I need things that are simple to make and these are it!
NUT-FREE OPTION
You can make these nut-free by swapping out the almond flour with 1/2 cup arrowroot flour. This is a great option if you’re send your kids with these to school in a nut-free environment.
TOPPINGS
Everything bagels are my all time favorite. Trader Joe’s sells a mix called Everything but the Bagel and it’s killer on these. Whatever you choose to top these with, add it to the bagel before putting them in the oven. It will stick to the bagel and get super crunchy. Here are some other options:
- Poppy Seeds
- Sesame Seeds
- Black Sesame Seeds
- Minced Dried Garlic
- Minced Dried Onion
- Flaked Sea Salt
SWEET VERSION
If you prefer sweeter foods in the morning you can add some dried raisins and 1 tsp of cinnamon to the batter.
