One of my favorite treats (in my past life) was a Panera Cinnamon Crunch Bagel topped with sweet pecan cream cheese! Yikes check out the nutrition facts on ONE bagel. YIKES 81 carbohydrates!!!
I now enjoy my homemade bagels. All of the carbs in this bagel comes from a fiber. It is also FILLED with omega 3s and it tastes great. TIP: make a larger batch, keep in freezer and toast when you are having a Panera Bread Relapse!

3 TBS golden flax meal
4 TBS parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup egg whites
3/4 T macadamia nut oil
dash of salt/onion powder/pepper
4 TBS parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup egg whites
3/4 T macadamia nut oil
dash of salt/onion powder/pepper
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. In a medium-small bowl mix the dry ingredients - the golden flax meal, parmesan, baking powder, and spices.
In a seperate bowl, whip the egg whites until fluffy. Add the oil to the whites, then slowly add the dry mixture. Allow the dough to sit for 5 minutes to firm up. Spoon half of the dough onto parchment or a greased baking sheet in a dome shape. Spoon the remaining half in a similar manner. Scoop out the center to create a bagel shape - the dough will be firm enough to hold. Bake for 30 minutes until the flax turns a darker golden shade. Allow to cool completely before eating (they will fall slightly). Put the two halves together, add your favorite bagel filling. Makes 1 Large bagel.
