2-Ingredient Weight Watchers Bagel - Keto Version
Frankly, I only came to know about this 2-Ingredient Weight Watchers Bagel from one of my subscribers and because of that, I decided to try to make a keto version for it. I have tried with quite a number of low carb flours, but it did not work out well especially with pure coconut flour and oat fiber flaxseed. Almond flour turned out to be the best and second best is coconut flaxseed, so I am sharing the recipe for these two versions here. It is quite obvious that the texture will be denser and more cake-like particularly without psyllium husks. But it is still a good alternative if you are looking for an eggless version or a quick and easy way to make bagels. Because the dough does not bulk up like those with psyllium husks, the recipe only produces a small amount of bagel hence, the net carb content is higher. Personally, I prefer them toasted as they taste quite delicious with the crispy crust, seeds and tender crumbs. The Everything Bagel seasoning does make them taste more like bagels, so I highly recommend it as a topping.
1. For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale
2. Preheat the oven at 350F or 180C.
3. In a bowl, add all the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
4. Add the wet ingredients and mix until a dough is formed.
5. Knead the dough for a while just to incorporate the ingredients.
6. Divide the dough into 85 to 90 g portions.
7. Shape into balls and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
8. Flatten slightly and make a hole with your finger. To prevent dough from sticking to the finger, just wet your finger with water.
9. Brush with egg yolks. I brushed with two layers in order to get a rich golden-brown color but that is optional.
10. Top with Everything Bagel Seasoning and press down gently so that the seeds will stick to the dough.
11. Bake at the lowest rack for about 17 to 20 minutes.
12. Cool on a wire rack.
13. The coconut flaxseed version has a sticky texture due to the flaxseed, so it is better served toasted. Once toasted, both versions have a crispy crust and seeds with tender crumbs. I actually prefer them toasted as they taste better. They also taste better with Everything Bagel seasoning.
14. These bagels can be kept at room temperature for a few days provided you have a cool and dry climate. Otherwise, it is best to refrigerate earlier up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
