Imagine sinking your teeth into a bagel that defies expectations – one that's delightfully soft, wonderfully chewy, and holds its shape perfectly. These bagels offer a delicious experience without the ingredients that often weigh you down. Crafted without eggs, dairy, or gluten, they present a lighter way to enjoy a classic comfort food any time of day.

The secret to their satisfying texture lies in a carefully balanced blend of almond flour and coconut flour. These ingredients create a base that's both flavorful and structurally sound, providing a delightful alternative to traditional wheat-based bagels. A touch of xanthan gum and psyllium husk acts as a binder, ensuring the dough comes together beautifully and achieves that signature bagel chewiness.

The recipe incorporates a small amount of sugar to awaken the yeast, the magical ingredient responsible for the bagel's airy interior and subtle depth of flavor. As the bagels bake, the yeast diligently consumes the sugar, leaving behind only its leavening magic. Feel free to personalize your bagels with a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning for that familiar savory kick.

Alternatively, sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or a dusting of grated vegan parmesan cheese can transform them into unique culinary creations. Once these tempting bagels have cooled, storing them properly will maintain their delightful texture and flavor. An airtight container will keep them fresh at room temperature for a day or two, or you can extend their shelf life to about a week by storing them in the refrigerator.

A quick zap in the microwave for just 10 seconds will revive their warmth and softness, making them ready to enjoy whenever a bagel craving strikes.
