Ingredients
You'll only need six ingredients to make this recipe. Here's an overview of what you'll need. The exact measurements are in the recipe card below.
- Shredded mozzarella: I use bagged pre-shredded part-skim mozzarella.
- Cream cheese: Use full-fat cream cheese, not reduced-fat.
- Almond flour: Blanched, finely ground almond flour works best. I don't recommend using a coarse almond meal in this recipe.
- Baking powder: It's important to make sure it's fresh.
- Egg: One large egg is all you need.
- Sesame seeds: Optional, but I think they make the bagels look amazing! You can also use a bagel seasoning.
Variations
- Season the bagels - I like to add a bit of garlic powder and onion powder, for example - ¼ teaspoon of each. I mix them into the almond flour before adding it to the mixture.
- Vary your toppings. Instead of sesame seeds, you can use poppy seeds, coarse salt, or bagel seasoning (my husband's favorite topping).
- You can make a sweet version by adding ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon and a granulated sweetener to equal ¼ cup sugar. Mix them into the almond flour before adding it to the mixture. Personally, although I like the sweet version, I prefer the savory one.
Keto Bagels Instructions
Here are the basic steps:
You start by microwaving shredded mozzarella and cream cheese until melted. Then stir them. (Photo 1).
Now, add almond flour, baking powder, and egg and quickly mix everything together to form a dough. (Photo 2).
Briefly knead the dough, then divide it into six equal parts. (Photos 3-5).
Roll each part into a log, then shape it into a bagel. (Photos 6-7).
Dip the bagels in sesame seeds, then bake them for about 15 minutes in a preheated 350°F oven. (Photos 8-10).
Expert Tip
You'll want to work quickly, kneading the dough well before it cools and making sure it's completely uniform.
However, if the dough has cooled and hardened and is impossible to knead, do not despair! Simply microwave it for a few seconds (start with 10 seconds) until it's pliable again.
