Equipment
- 1 Mixing bowl For dough
- 1 Baking tray Lined with parchment paper
- 1 Oven Preheated to 375°F (190°C)
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt plain, full-fat or low-fat- see notes
- 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cups tapioca starch for that chewy, bread-like texture
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- Optional 1/4–1/2 teaspoon salt highly recommended for enhanced flavor, omit at your own risk
- Optional toppings Sesame seeds poppy seeds, everything bagel seasoning, or dried onion flakes
- Optional shaping and brushing Avocado oil or other neutral oil such as olive oil, or 1 egg white (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
- Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, and salt (if using). Add the Greek yogurt and stir with a spatula or mix using a food processor until a cohesive dough forms.
- Shape the Bagels: Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Lightly coat your hands with oil (avocado or olive oil works great) to prevent sticking. Roll 4 portions into balls and place them on the baking sheet. Gently press your finger through the center of each ball to create a classic bagel hole, stretching slightly to form the shape.
- Create Bunny Ears: Take the remaining 2 dough portions and divide each into 4 small logs. Fold each log in half to form a "V" shape for the bunny ears. Press the base of each "V" onto the top of the 4 bagels to attach the ears securely.
- Add Toppings: Brush the bagels lightly with oil or an egg white wash for a golden finish. Sprinkle sesame seeds on the back of each bagel to mimic a fluffy bunny tail, or use your favorite toppings like poppy seeds or everything bagel seasoning.
- Bake: Pop the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, until the bagels are golden and firm. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Serve & Enjoy: Slice and serve with a thick layer of cream cheese, a dollop of fruit spread, scrambled eggs, or mashed avocado for a delightful, protein-packed springtime treat!
