Talk about BAE-goals. These mini bagels are paleo-friendly and vegan, and most importantly, delicious! They are somewhat fragile, so handle them lightly. Pictured: I have them topped with some hummus and veggies, but they’d also be yummy with mashed avocado, dairy-free cream cheese, or peanut butter!

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp ground flax meal (for flax eggs)
• Poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or Trader's Joe's Everything but the Bagel seasoning

Dry ingredients for mix:

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 tbsp coconut flour
• 1 tbsp ground flax meal
• 1/2 tbsp arrowroot starch powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp pink salt

Wet ingredients:

• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Make 2 flax eggs in a bowl by mixing together 2 tbs ground flax meal and 5 tbs water. Let this sit for 5-10 min while you make the batter.
3. Prepare a nonstick donut pan by lightly greasing with coconut oil.
4. In a bowl sift together the dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, ground flaxseed (flax meal), arrowroot starch powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Once the dry ingredients are well incorporated, in a separate bowl whisk together the 2 flax eggs and apple cider vinegar.
6. Then combine the wet and dry ingredients. The dough will be sticky and thick.
7. Scoop the dough into the greased circles (will make 4 total).
8. Sprinkle each mini bagel with seasoning- I used Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel Seasoning (how appropriate). You could also use sesame seeds, or poppy seeds.
9. Bake 18-20 min until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let bagels cool before slicing. Lightly toast and serve with toppings of choice!
