Can I use almond flour instead?

I only tested this recipe with almond butter, and I do not recommend you use almond meal instead. I purposely used almond butter because it creates an extremely light and bread like texture.

Can I make this recipe egg-free?

I tested this recipe with eggs, but you could try using these egg replacement ideas to replace the eggs. You can try replacing the eggs with a “chia egg,” bananas, applesauce, or whatever you usually use in place of eggs. Beware the buns will be denser if you use an egg replacement. If you use a banana or apple sauce the taste of the bun will not savory.

Egg replacement options:

• chia egg: 1 tbsp of chia seeds + 2.5 tbsp of water = 1 large egg.
• 1/4 cup ripe mashed banana replaces one large egg
• 1/4 cup of applesauce replaces one large egg

More Praise for the Ditch the Wheat cookbook!

@paleokitchenbabe on Instagram says, “Speechless.  This morning I made egg sandwiches with @ditchthewheat‘s everything bagels.  And they are everything!  So so good.  If you are thinking about buying her cookbook- absolutely do it!”

@paleokitchenbabe is ambitious!  She loves to cook & bake from the cookbook.  I’ve really been enjoying seeing all of her creations.  She shared a picture of the cinnamon buns from the cookbook.  This recipe is a little harder to make because you have to work with frozen dough (I know it sounds weird but it works.  Trust me!).

I shared a picture of the pizza crust from the cookbook (p.g. 256).  It’s a nut-free pizza crust and it’s really delicious!!!  You’ll love it.

People are really loving the bagel recipe!!!  I keep getting tagged on Instagram from people that are soooo happy they can enjoy a good bagel again.  @scyllashiva says “Well I’ll be damned!!!  These are incredible #bagels !!! @ditchthewheat THANK YOU!!!  My kids are psyched!“  These bagels are very easy to make.  You just mix together the ingredients and pour into a donut mold.  The bagels don’t taste like normal “Paleo” bagels.  They are chewy like a regular bagel.  They have a really great texture and likeness.  Enjoy!
