🥒 Anti-Inflammatory Zucchini Bagels

Low-Carb • Gluten-Free • Nourishing

Soft inside, lightly crisp outside, and packed with anti-inflammatory goodness. Perfect for breakfast, sandwiches, or toasted with cream cheese.

✨ Why they’re anti-inflammatory

  • Zucchini → antioxidants + hydration
  • Almond flour → low-carb, vitamin E
  • Eggs → protein + healthy fats
  • Turmeric & garlic → inflammation fighters
  • Optional seeds → omega-3s

🛒 Ingredients (Makes 6 Bagels)

  • 1½ cups grated zucchini, moisture squeezed out VERY well
  • 1½ cups almond flour
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella (or dairy-free mozzarella)
  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ÂĽ tsp turmeric
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Optional Toppings

  • Sesame seeds
  • Everything bagel seasoning
  • Pumpkin or chia seeds

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prep zucchini
    Grate zucchini and squeeze out as much liquid as humanly possible (this is key).
  2. Melt cheese
    Microwave mozzarella + cream cheese for 30–40 seconds until soft and mixable.
  3. Mix dough
    Stir in eggs, olive oil, zucchini, almond flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and turmeric. Mix until a thick dough forms.
  4. Shape bagels
    Divide into 6 portions. Roll into balls, poke a hole in the center, and shape into bagels.
  5. Top & bake
    Place on a parchment-lined tray. Add toppings if using.
    Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–22 minutes, until golden.
  6. Cool slightly
    Let rest 5 minutes before slicing—texture improves as they set.
