Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients along with two eggs. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more almond flour.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each piece into a ball and then shape into a bagel by poking a hole in the center with your finger and gently stretching to widen.
Arrange the bagels evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the water with a little beaten egg to create an egg wash. Brush the top of each bagel with the egg wash and sprinkle generously with poppy seeds.
Lightly spray the bagels with olive oil spray to help them get golden brown.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
