Easy and Quick Avocado Bagel Recipe
Making bagels at home is no more complicated with this low-carb Avocado bagel recipe. It requires less than 30 minutes and just a handful of ingredients. While it doesn’t follow the traditional bagel method, this method is unique and easy to follow—and you’re sure to love the results! Let’s get started by preparing the dough.
Mash one ripe avocado in a glass bowl. Add 1 3/4 cup almond flour and 1/2 cup yogurt to it. Replacing yeast with yogurt here sets it apart, giving the bagels a soft, chewy texture and a lovely golden crust.
Add a pinch of salt. Combine everything using a spatula and knead into soft dough. Cover with a moist dish towel and let it rest for an hour, or until it doubles.
Once the dough rises, divide it into equal-sized balls. Shape each one into a bagel form, and boil them.
Once the boiled bagels have cooled down, sprinkle them with bagel seasoning. Bake for 20–30 minutes at 350°F in a preheated oven until they are nicely golden and firm.
These bagels will be lighter than regular ones. Voilà! You have completed step one of making a quick and nutritious bagel.
The Bagel Toppings
A variety of toppings can enhance the taste of the bagel. Herb and garlic-flavored cream cheese, seasoned with black pepper, pairs wonderfully with avocado. Here is the three-step process to make homemade cream cheese. Other creative topping ideas that work well include:
- Rocket lettuce and microgreens add freshness and a nice crunch.
- Tomato, red radish, and cucumber slices add a pop of color.
- Red onion jam or preserve adds sweetness, tanginess, and a bit of zing that blends beautifully with cream cheese. Homemade onion jam is easy to prepare with just three ingredients.
To make it:
Mix sliced onion with brown sugar and balsamic vinegar in a bowl. Add a bay leaf. Let it sit for a few hours to let the onions absorb the flavors. Then, pour the mixture into a pan and cook until the onions caramelize and the mixture becomes thick.
- Alfalfa or bean sprouts add texture and enhance nutrition.
- Roasted cherry tomatoes add a smoky flavor along with their natural sweetness.
