Low Carb/Gluten-Free Bagels
I tried out a low-carb bagel recipe given to me by JWag on the DiabetesForum.com, and I am so proud of how these turned out! And they do taste delicious with butter!

These are made primarily with ground golden flaxseed and chia seeds, with a little coconut flour. I baked mine in a donut pan to get the bagel shape, and they turned out great. They're especially good warm with butter or cream cheese!

You could also experiment with different toppings. I remember thinking I needed to buy some poppy seeds because I LOVE poppy seed bagels!
