Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
  2. Drain Zucchini: Place shredded zucchini in a clean towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible to avoid soggy dough.
  3. 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.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and optional garlic powder thoroughly.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  9. 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.
