Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 4 cups water
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cream cheese and mozzarella cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, and continue to microwave in 30-second intervals until the cheese is completely melted and smooth.
Quickly add the cheese mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the eggs and mix to form a dough. It may be sticky, but work it with your hands into a smooth ball.
Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each piece into a 6-inch long cylinder, then form each into a ring by pressing the ends together.
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to boil and add 1 teaspoon of honey (this gives Montreal bagels their unique texture without adding significant carbs).
Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and gently drop bagels into the pot, a few at a time, without crowding. Simmer for about 1 minute on each side.
Using a slotted spoon, remove bagels from water and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over each bagel.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and firm.
Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your Keto Montreal Bagels with your favorite keto-friendly toppings!
