Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

1 cup almond flour
2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
2 teaspoons natural baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

2 large eggs (room temperature)
4 ounces plant-based cream cheese (plant-based), softened

Optional Toppings and Variations

Sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic powder, dried onion (for everything bagel style)
Fresh or dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, or dill
Grated plant-based cheese (plant-based)
Cinnamon and dried, unsweetened raisins
Flaxseeds, chia seeds, or sunflower seeds

Instructions

Prepare the dough: Combine the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, natural baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the softened plant-based cream cheese (plant-based) until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir until a slightly sticky but manageable dough forms.
Shape the bagels: Divide the dough into 4 to 6 equal portions depending on desired size. Roll each portion into a ball and carefully form a hole in the center to create the traditional bagel shape. Place the shaped bagels onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake to perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top and firm to the touch. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before slicing to preserve their soft interior texture.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs to help ingredients combine smoothly and create a lighter dough.
Do not skip the psyllium husk powder as it provides the ideal chew and texture reminiscent of traditional bagels.
Avoid over-mixing the dough; stir just until combined to keep the bagels tender.
Allow the bagels to cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
Gently press seeds or herbs onto the surface before baking for better adhesion.
