BAGELS of happiness

Servings: 6 small bagels

Ingredients:

• 170 g ORGANIC L’Ancêtre cheese, Allegro, or VEGAN cheese (like DAIYA), shredded
• 85 g almond flour (ground almonds)
• 2 tablespoons VEGAN cream cheese (I love the RAWSOME company, *faux-mage à la crème* made with cashews) or VEGAN DAIYA... or as a last resort: regular cream cheese
• 1 egg –> if VEGAN, substitute the egg with chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• Pinch of pink salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Mix the shredded cheese, almond flour, and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl.
2. Heat in the microwave on HIGH for 1 minute.
3. Stir, then microwave again on HIGH for another 30 seconds.
4. Add the egg, baking powder, salt, and any other flavorings; mix gently.
5. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Form into balls and then roll into cylinder shapes.
6. Fold the ends of the cylinders to form a circle and seal the two ends together to form the bagel.
7. Place on a baking sheet and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 220°C / 425°F for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. Enjoy occasionally as a treat 🙂
