How to Make Keto Paleo Seed Bagels

Ingredients

• 1 cup (112 g) coconut flour
• ½ cup (68 g) flax seeds, finely ground
• 1 cup (240 ml) boiling water
• 4 egg whites
• ½ cup (90 g) hemp hearts
• ½ cup (75 g) sesame seeds
• 1 tbsp (5 g) aluminum-free baking powder
• Sesame seeds or poppy seeds, for sprinkling

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Place a sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
2. In a large bowl, mix the coconut flour and flax seeds. Pour the boiling water over the flours and mix well, then set aside to rest.
3. Using an electric or manual whisk, in a medium bowl blend the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
4. Add the hemp hearts, sesame seeds and baking powder to the coconut flour mix and mix well.
5. Using an electric whisk or a wooden spoon, add the egg whites to the dry ingredients and mix well, without overmixing. The dough should still be somewhat crumbly but will stick together when formed into a ball.
6. Form the dough into six balls. Holding a ball in one hand, stick your thumb through it, making a hole, then place the dough on the cookie sheet and form it into a bagel shape, using your fingers. Sprinkle with some sesame seeds or poppy seeds so it looks pretty.
7. Bake for about 55 minutes, or until the bagels are golden on top and dry inside. You can use a wooden toothpick to check. It will be done when the toothpick comes out clean.
8. Let cool inside the oven for an extra-crunchy top.
