Vegetables
- 1 cup shredded zucchini (squeezed dry)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Cheese
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese
Others
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning (optional for topping)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Drain Zucchini: Place shredded zucchini in a clean towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible to avoid soggy dough.
- Melt Cheese: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and optional garlic powder thoroughly.
- Combine Dough: Add the melted cheese mixture, squeezed zucchini, and one beaten egg to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a dough forms, kneading with your hands if necessary.
- Shape Bagels: Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each into a rope and shape into bagels. Place each bagel on the prepared baking sheet.
- Egg Wash and Season: Beat the remaining egg and brush it evenly over the tops of the bagels. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning if desired.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack before slicing to maintain texture.
Notes
- Squeezing the zucchini is crucial to prevent excess moisture and sogginess.
- If you don’t have a microwave, cheese can be melted gently on a stovetop over low heat.
- Everything bagel seasoning is optional but adds a classic bagel flavor and texture on top.
- These bagels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat briefly in a toaster oven to bring back some crispiness before eating.
