Easy vegan, gluten-free, and a grain-free everything bagels with almond and tapioca flour. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack.

When was the last time you had a good bagel?

There isn’t anything much cozier or comforting than biting into a thick chewy disc with a hole in the center.

It’s been a while for me.

I saw a few variations on the ‘Gram recently and couldn’t get those delicious discs out of my head.

These Grain-Free Everything Bagels are vegan, gluten-free, and perfect to satisfy your bagel cravings with just 8 simple ingredients.

These Everything Bagels are perfect for, well, everything, including breakfast, lunch, snack-time, and anytime.

Let’s bagel, bae.

Me + Bagels…a History.

In case you were curious, here’s a short history of me and bagels.

My bagel love started out young with family bagel runs to the local bagel bakery.

Usually we purchased a dozen– sesame, blueberry, cinnamon raisin, and plain, with some of the seasonal flavors, like pumpkin or cranberry, carried home in a large brown paper bagel that smelled like sugar and yeast and cinnamon when unfurled.

In college, I ordered them for lunch, waiting impatiently in the long line at the French-style cafe before running to the Art building for class.

In the past few years, though, my bagel bandwidth has been small.

The last bagel I ate within recent memory is probably the Pagel, a paleo and gluten-free bagel by Bedrock Bakers, who so kindly sent me some overnight.

I don’t have the Pagel locally, so I set out to make some of my own that fit my vegan and gluten-free lifestyle.

Testing the Perfect Grain-Free Everything Bagel

These grain-free everything bagels went through many trials, friends!

Four trials, to be exact, to get the taste, texture, size, seasonings, and aesthetics just so.

I finally settled on this version with an easy almond flour base thickened with a bit of tapioca flour.

Recently I started using tapioca flour, made from cassava root, in select recipes as a grain and gluten-free thickener.

These everything bagels are everything.

Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside and perfectly seasoned with a slightly nutty flavor.

They’re filling, fueling, and packed with protein and fiber.

How to Make Grain-Free Everything Bagels

These bagels are so easy to make.

There is no yeast, no boiling, and no abstract ingredients.

Being new to this whole hole-y bread thing, I used a donut pan to shape mine.

You have a choice here to make smaller bagel thins or larger more classic bagels.

If making the large bagels, the trick is to really pile the dough high in the donut pan.

Larger bagels take longer to bake but are easier to slice while thinner bagels will take less time to bake and are best enjoyed whole.

Decisions, decisions.

Better Bagels

Hear me out: The nature of these bagels will be a bit softer and moister than the chewy classic bagels.

I like to toast mine for a little more bite.

If you create thinner bagels, you can pop them in the toaster whole.

For larger bagels, carefully slice in half with a serrated knife and add to the toaster in halves.

How to Enjoy Grain-Free Everything Bagels

These Grain-Free Everything Bagels are perfect to bake in advance for a quick breakfast or snack.

I like to make mine large and in charge and then slice and toast to crispy perfection.

For toppings, you can go plain or fancy, sweet or savory.

Anything goes!

If you’re looking for some fun spreads for your bagels, try my Easy Beet Hummus, Easy Raw Cashew Cheese, Easy Sugar-Free Raspberry Chia Seed Jam, or 2-Ingredient Roasted Peanut-Cashew Butter.

For a store-bought alternative, I love Kite Hill Cream Cheese for a good schmear.
