    Pretzels are great for eating on-the-go. Despite the proliferation of gluten-free frozen and ready-to-eat baked goods, however, a good gluten-free pretzel is still pretty hard to find. Never fear—make your own with this approachable recipe, which comes together in less than 40 minutes. It features almond flour, cream cheese, mozzarella, and eggs for a decadent, bread-like mouthfeel that is 100% celiac-safe. Pump up the fun by making your own dipping sauces or taking some on the go, in tiny, leak-proof food storage containers. Serve with honey mustard dip, barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, or even ketchup. However, if you want to play it safe and skip the condiments, these pretzels are absolutely delicious on their own.
