Ingredients
- 3 cup (720 ml) s zucchini finely shredded
- 1 1/2 cup (360 ml) low moisture shredded moz zarella cheese
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) coconut flour
- 1 tsp (5 ml) baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- Everything bagel seasoning for topping
Instructions
- Set your oven to 400°F and prepare a large baking sheet with a silicone mat.
- Squeeze out the moisture from the zucchini in small portions using a cheesecloth. You should end up with 2 cups of zucchini.
- In a big mixing bowl, combine the zucchini with coconut flour, baking powder, and eggs. Stir until everything is well mixed.
- Place the cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and warm it in the microwave until completely melted, around 1 minute. Heat in 20-second bursts to avoid burning, stirring after each burst until smooth.
- Combine the zucchini mixture and melted cheese in a food processor and blend until the mixture is consistent. If preferred, mix by hand, though it will require more effort.
- Fill a 1/3 cup measuring cup with the batter. Turn the measuring cup upside down over the prepared baking sheet and shake gently until the batter releases while maintaining the cup’s shape.
- To form bagels, use a finger to poke a hole in the middle and gently expand and shape the hole. Use your hands to round off the edges and top, aiming for a cake donut size. Smooth the bagel’s surface as best as you can.
- Generously cover the surface of the bagels with everything bagel seasoning.
- Bake the bagels for approximately 22 to 28 minutes or until their tops are golden brown.
- Keep any leftover bagels in the fridge or freezer and reheat them in the oven or toaster oven when needed.
Notes
- Removing excess moisture from zucchini is essential for maintaining the bagels’ shape.nStirring mozzarella every 20 seconds during melting prevents burning and ensures a smooth consistency.nBlending zucchini mix with melted cheese in a food processor creates a uniform dough, making shaping easier.
