1 bagel = 350 calories, 67 carbs, 2 fiber...NO LIE, this is on their website. And that is just for the bagel, no cream cheese.
Try these instead:
3 TBS ground golden flaxseed
2 TBS coconut flour
1/2 t baking powder
4 egg, separated
2 TBS cinnamon
4 TBS Just Like Brown Sugar (or 1/2 tsp liquid stevia)
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. In a medium-small bowl mix the dry ingredients - the golden flax meal, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon and sweetener.
Whip the egg whites until fluffy. Slowly add the yolks, and then the dry mixture. Allow the dough to sit for 5 minutes to firm up. Spoon the dough into a greased "donut" mold or shape into bagels on a cookie sheet. Bake for 30 minutes until the flax turns a darker golden shade. Allow to cool in the oven. Makes 6 bagels.
