These Keto Bagels are a low-carb, gluten-free alternative to traditional bagels, made with almond flour and a cheesy dough base for a soft, chewy texture. Perfect for breakfast or snacks, they are quick to prepare and bake in under 30 minutes, topped with flavorful everything bagel seasoning and optionally served with cream cheese.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper

Cheese & Eggs

  • 2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 oz cream cheese, cubed
  • 2 large eggs

Topping

  • Everything bagel seasoning, to taste
  • Cream cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside for later use to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, garlic salt, and freshly cracked pepper. Stir them together well and set aside.
  3. Melt Cheeses: Place the shredded mozzarella and cubed cream cheese into a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even melting. Once melted, stir until the mixture is smooth and uniform. Let it cool for about 1 minute until it’s safe to handle.
  4. Form Dough: Add the dry flour mixture and the two eggs to the melted cheese mixture. Quickly knead the mixture by hand until a sticky dough forms. It may take a few minutes for the dough to come together as the cheese cools. If the dough hardens before fully combining or becomes difficult to knead, microwave it in 15-20 second intervals to soften.
  5. Shape Bagels: Divide the dough evenly into 6 portions. Shape each portion into a long log, then connect the ends to form a traditional bagel shape. Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Add Seasoning and Bake: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over each bagel, gently pressing the seasoning into the dough to adhere. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until the bagels are firm and golden brown.
  7. Serve and Store: Remove the bagels from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Serve warm, sliced in half and spread with cream cheese if desired. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature. To reheat, lightly toast the bagels for best texture.

Notes

  • If the dough becomes too firm while kneading, warm it briefly in the microwave to soften.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy clean-up.
  • Everything bagel seasoning can be substituted with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or your favorite seasoning blend.
  • Bagels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored at room temperature for 1-2 days.
  • Try serving with different toppings such as avocado, smoked salmon, or deli meats for variety.
  • Ensure cheeses are well melted for easier dough formation and better texture.
