#KetoBagelsYouCanTrust

Keto Diet has been one HELLOVA journey so far, too say I'm obsessed with perfecting recipes is an... Understatement. I mean, I feel like I have to dig through all the obscure recipes out there to find the gold - and then NOTHING excites me more than sharing with friends! Even if you aren't a big bagel fan - one thing is clear... Keto leaves you missing that "carby bready" texture in food and I am a big fan of anything I can hold in my hand so alas, bagels become an obsession :) Out of the millions of recipes out there on the interwebs, I found the one I like best, and I will tell you - getting a donut/bagel baking pan is the real hack! If you are committed to Keto, the pan is a great investment because you'll be making these often!

Ingredients

8 ounces (2 cups) shredded mozzarella cheese (1/2 set aside for topping) 4 ounces (1 cup) blanched almond flour 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) cream cheese 1 large egg 1/2 tablespoon olive oil 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder Seasoning Mix Ideas

1 tablespoon dried dry minced onion 2 teaspoons poppy seeds 2 teaspoons white sesame seeds 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

-Heat the oven to 375 F. -Grab Bagel/Donut pan or prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a nonstick silicone baking mat.

-In a large microwave safe bowl, add almond flour, baking powder. Mix well.

-Add (ALL BUT 1/3 cup) mozzarella cheese, 1/2 your seasoning mix, cream cheese to the same bowl. -Microwave for 45 seconds, stir, then microwave for another 45 seconds or until the cheese is melted. Stir until the mixture forms a smooth dough.

-Add the egg to the same bowl, blend with your hands, it's easier BUT be careful of the heat from melted cheese.

-Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a log about 6 inches long, and attach the ends to form a bagel shape. -Place the bagels in Bagel pan slots or place at least 1 inch apart on the parchment lined baking sheet.

-Brush olive oil across the tops. -Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese on tops of bagels

-Bake at 375 F until golden brown on top, about 20 minutes. **Since all ovens are different, keep an eye on them at 15 minutes.

xoxo Enjoy!
