    Cinnamon Raisin Almond Flour Bagels

    Too many people look at the holes in their life and miss the glorious bagel right in front of them. I, on the other hand, am a glass half full kinda gal, an opportunistic who doesn’t skip a beat when there’s a bagel to be eaten. Especially when it’s a gluten-free, whole food based option that is lower in carbs and tastes just as good as the OG! Now I’m no New Yorker, so I know that’s high praise, but I’m willing to stick my neck out for this recipe – or at least stick out a hand if you’re going to pass on these almond flour bagels. You didn’t come here to pass on bagels though, did you? Let’s get to baking your favorite version be it plain, cinnamon raisin or everyone’s favorite – the everything bagel.
