Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Arrowroot flour
- 0.25 cup Flaxseed meal
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Sesame seeds
- 8 cups Water (for boiling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, arrowroot flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, melted coconut oil, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball, then shape into a bagel by pushing your finger through the center and gently stretching to form a ring.
Bring the 8 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Once boiling, reduce to a gentle simmer and carefully drop each bagel into the water with a slotted spoon. Boil for about 1 minute, flipping halfway through, to set the shape.
Remove the bagels from the water and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle sesame seeds generously over the top of each bagel.
Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let the bagels cool on a wire rack before serving.
