Gluten free, grain free, nut free, no yeast, easy, healthy, paleo bagel recipe. Best easy to make paleo bagels that taste “real”! You wont even know they don’t have grains- because they taste and look like the real thing!
I can’t believe this day has arrived!
I mean, I dreamed of it.
But it’s really here now.
Paleo bagels!!!!
So much excitement around these little packages of joy.
Having gone without grains for years, biting into a paleo bagel is somewhat of a highlight.
These soft paleo bagels are slightly chewy.
Just the way I like them.
But they are also light and hearty at the same time.
The light flavor of these bagels is mixed with a slight sweetness.
First of all, topping one of these bagels off with a spread of fresh sliced tomatoes and a fried egg.
Well, it’s pretty much a dream dream true.
And to top it off, these bagels are huge!
While having a paleo bagel is awesome…
Having a paleo bagel that is larger than my hand is ever more awesome:)
I thought making bagels was going to be a huge endeavor.
As it turns out, these bagels are really easy to make!
I feel like l’ve been in a summery mood all week.
Because, all I want to do is lay around at the lake or in the pool.
Staying cool has been the first thing on my agenda.
And then comes work.
This is the beauty of making my own schedule:)
I have been squeezing in a few hours of work in the morning before it gets to hot.
As a result of taking a break in the afternoons, my evenings are set aside for more work.
Because paleo people need bagels too, this recipe was a must.
I’ve been itching to get this recipe up all week.
I couldn’t wait to share these bagels.
Bagels With Cassava Flour
Cassava flour is made from the whole root of the cassava.
The cassava root is peeled first, then dried before it is ground into flour.
Therefore, cassava flour is a whole food still containing all it’s nutrients, enzymes, and fiber.
Cassava flour is an easy to digest starch and paleo approved!
Cassava flour cannot be substituted in this recipe for another type of four- find it here.
Paleo Bagels
Ingredients
- 1 cup cassava flour
- 1 cup arrowroot flour
- 4 whole eggs
- 1/4 cup palm oil shortening
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
- optional egg wash (1 egg mixed + 1-3 teaspoons dairy free milk or water)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a KitchenAid mixer (or by hand), combine all of the ingredients for the dough until smooth.
- Separate the dough into 4 equal parts.
- Fill a large sauce pan with 2 quarts of water or half way full. Bring the water to a boil and then turn it slightly down, but keep the water boiling.
- Roll each segment of dough into a ball and then shape it into a bagel. You may have to wet your hands to shape the dough, so it doesn't stick to you.
- Drop one bagel at a time into the boiling water and let them cook for 1 minute on each side or until they rise to the top of the water.
- Once the bagels have boiled, set them on the baking tray. If you so desire to put an egg wash on the bagels to make them brown- simply brush the egg wash on top of the bagels and then sprinkle the sesame seeds over the tops of the bagels.
- Bake the bagels on 350 degrees for 25 minutes until golden brown.
