Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning (or dried basil and oregano)
- 1/2 cup sugar-free pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced onion (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the cheeses are melted and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, and the beaten eggs.
- Combine the cheese mixture with the almond flour mixture and knead until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape them into bagel rounds on the prepared baking sheet.
- Use your finger to create a hole in the center of each bagel, making them look like traditional bagels.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Once the bagels have cooled a bit, spread a tablespoon of sugar-free pizza sauce on each bagel and top with shredded mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and any optional toppings you prefer.
- Place the bagels back in the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve and enjoy your Keto Pepperoni Pizza Bagels!
