Who doesn’t love bagels, right? Check out this twist on the traditional bagel that will keep your paleo, gluten-free or keto diet on track. Despite being totally (white) flour-free, these Cauliflower Buns & Bagels are surprisingly light and fluffy. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven or  slightly cooled.
