Can I freeze Zucchini Bagels?

How do I know when Zucchini Bagels are done?

Zucchini Bagels are done when they turn golden brown and feel firm to the touch. You can also insert a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, your bagels are cooked through.

What can I substitute for almond flour?

If you're looking for a substitute for almond flour, coconut flour can work well in this recipe. Keep in mind, you may need to adjust the quantity, as coconut flour absorbs more moisture.

Are Zucchini Bagels gluten-free?

Yes, Zucchini Bagels are gluten-free since they are made with almond flour instead of traditional wheat flour. This makes them a great option for those with gluten sensitivities.

Can I make these bagels vegan?

You can make Zucchini Bagels vegan by substituting the eggs with flaxseed meal or chia seeds mixed with water. A typical ratio is 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal or chia seeds with 2.5 tablespoons of water, allowed to sit until it forms a gel-like consistency.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the grated zucchini with salt and let it sit for 10 minutes to release excess moisture.
Use a clean towel to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini.
Combine the drained zucchini, almond flour, mozzarella cheese, eggs, baking powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and any optional toppings in another bowl.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined and a dough forms.
Shape the mixture into bagel shapes on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning on top if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Let the bagels cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Remove as much moisture from the zucchini as possible for the best texture. You can substitute mozzarella with a dairy-free cheese for a vegan option.
