Grain Free Everything Bagels (Grain Free, Gluten Free, Dairy Free)

Posted on

Okay Quarantiners! You need some GRAIN FREE EVERYTHING BAGELS IN YOUR LIFE! Been making these for months now and have mastered them. Meaning – it’s time to share them with you. 

I took grains out of my diet a few years ago when I was first diagnosed with Hashimoto’s.

Grains can actually be an inflammatory trigger for many, causing digestive upset, indigestion and bloating. This is especially the case for those suffering with any level of autoimmunity. When I removed them, my own bloating reduced significantly.

Now, if you’ve been a part of my community for a while, you know that I’m a huge baking enthusiast.

When I initially went grain–free, I was a little worried that I wouldn’t be able to do as much baking as I’d like…but, I rose to the challenge and started testing new recipes in the kitchen.

These everything bagels are grain free, gluten free and dairy free. They’re also lower on the glycemic index than a classic bagel, they’re loaded with way more nutrients, and they are downright delicious too! 

I love to whip up a breakfast sandwich with these babies. Give them a try and let me know what you think!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup arrowroot flour
  • 1 cup cassava flour
  • 4 medium eggs
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 3 tbsp nut milk
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • to taste Everything But the Bagel Seasoning (or you could just sub for sesame seeds). I got my seasoning from Trader Joes.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Meanwhile boil a big pot of water.In a blender, add all of the dough ingredients except for the EB seasoning.
    Once combined, (it might be a bit sticky) transfer the dough to your parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Use your hands to form a ball (again - it might be a bit sticky.
    I find leaving it for a few minutes helps make it less sticky, but you could always sprinkle some cassava flour on your parchment to help you better work with the dough).
  • Then separate into four equal parts. Use your hands to roll each part into a round ball, then using your thumb, poke a hole in the middle, keeping the bagel in tact.
    Gently flatten and form your bagel. Once the water is boiling, gently drop them in the water.
  • Once each one floats to the top (about one minute), transfer back to your baking sheet. Sometimes they can get stuck in the bottom of the pot, so pay attention and use your spatula to unstick it.
  • After all are placed onto the baking sheet, brush each bagel with a bit of olive oil (optional) and sprinkle with EB seasoning. Bake 23-25 minutes.

Ingredients
  1. 4 slices bacon, cut into 1⁄4-inch (6-mm) pieces
  2. 11⁄2 lb (680 g) Brussels sprouts, stems removed
  3. 1⁄2 cup (80 g) thinly sliced red onion
  4. 11⁄2 tsp (5 g) sea salt
2 tbsp (30 ml) sherry vinegar
  5. 2 tbsp (8 g) minced Italian parsley
  6. 2 tbsp (6 g) minced chives
  7. 1⁄2 cup (59 g) walnuts or pecans, roughly chopped
Instructions
  1. Place a skillet over medium heat and toss in the bacon bits. Cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until the bits are crispy, 4 to 5 minutes.
  2. While the bacon is crisping in the skillet, shred the Brussels sprouts using the slicing blade of a food processor. If you don’t have a food processor, simply slice them thinly with a sharp knife.
  3. Check on the bacon. When it’s crispy and cooked through, remove it from the pan using a slotted spoon and transfer it to a plate. Set aside.
  4. Add the red onion to the skillet and cook it in the bacon grease. Sauté until the onion is soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shaved Brussels sprouts and season with the sea salt. Stir-fry until the Brussels sprouts are tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Turn o the heat, add the sherry vinegar and gently mix together. Add the parsley, chives, bacon bits and nuts. Serve alongside your main meal.

Herb Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Posted on

Sweet potatoes are a regular in my house. They make the perfect side dish.

You can mash them, roast them, bake them and combine them with a variety of herbs or spices. Lately I’ve been on a sweet potato kick as you might notice from my recent recipe post for my Sweet Potato Macro Muffins. 

If you haven’t made these muffins yet, I encourage you to try them out asap. They were sooooo good!

This particular sweet potato dish is perfect with just about any meal. I love to make extra of this dish and serve it with eggs the next morning. Nothing like prepping one dish that can serve multi-purpose!

Sweet potatoes are rich in fiber, vitamin B6 and iron – all good things we need more of, especially the fiber. 

If you’re dealing with any digestive issues or constipation, I highly encourage you to start increasing your vegetable intake as well as getting in more water. I can’t tell you how many of my clients experience complete digestive relief by simply applying these 2 strategies. 

Water and veggies, who knew (and I say that sarcastically!)

If you’re wondering how much water you should be drinking, I like for my clients to aim for half their body weight in ounces. And if you workout regularly and sweat a lot, you’ll probably need a little more than that. 

So let’s get to this simple and delicious recipe. I definitely suggest you make extras – like a lot extra – because when it comes to eating healthy, preparation is key! I can’t tell you how many times having extra cooked veggies in my fridge saved me from gorging on well… not so good things! 

Mixed with eggs, topped on salads, enjoyed as a side – you’ll be grateful for having more of these roasted sweet potatoes in your fridge. 

Enjoy! 😉
