Fancy a couple of low carb bagels for the weekend breakfast? Try this sunflower and chia seed bagel recipe and you won't be dissapointed.
This is one of the bagel recipes from my coconut flour eCookbook. I thought it would be a perfect recipe for the weekend to share. As well as being low carb they are a great gluten free alternative to the real thing. Probably healthier too as they are high in fibre due to the combination of coconut flour and pysllium husk powder.
When I was experimenting with this recipe I made so many batches that I had to freeze some. They kept well in the freezer and I took some along to the local vegetable market to give to one of my weekly vendors to try. She loved them and was amazed that they were made with coconut flour. I'm slowly spreading the word on the island about the wonders of coconut flour. One market vendor at a time it seems!
If you enjoy these bagels, you will find other recipes in my coconut flour eCookbook, along with other delicious savoury and sweet treats.
