Delicious Keto Bagels make me very happy indeed!  If I was to say there was one thing that I truly loved before going keto it was bagels. This recipe is super simple and ready in under 30 minutes!

I couldn’t count how many bagels I have cooked and eaten in my life.  In Australia, bagels have been so underrated as a superstar in the bread world.  While I miss the chew and smell of a great boiled bagel these keto bagels are pretty damn good.

This keto bagel version is quite simply an adaptation of a fathead dough, with the addition of baking powder and xanthan gum to give the bagel a bit of “bagel” consistency and rise.

Keto Bagel Variations

This keto bagel dough is ridiculously versatile.  You can use it from everything to pie crusts, pizzas, bombs, dumplings bagels and hotdogs.  As another version, I wrapped the keto bagel dough around a hot dog and baked it, then just topped with sugar free American mustard and tomato sauce.  So good, so easy, and so like an old fashioned dog.

You can also top these with my Trader Joe’s “hacked” seasoning, and enjoy with any of your favourite fillings, or just straight up.

Ingredients 

Bagel Base

  • 2.5 cups (2.25 cups) mozzarella grated (250g)
  • 65 g (4.5 tbsp) cream cheese
  • 1.5 tbsp (1.5 tbsp) baking powder
  • 1 tsp (1 tsp) xanthan gum
  • 2 (2) eggs
  • 160 g (1.5 cups) almond meal
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180℃ fan/200°C static (400°F). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Add cheese and cream cheese to glass bowl and microwave for 2 min/high. Stir until well mixed
  • Add baking powder, xanthan, eggs and almond meal. Stir until combined, then add to mixer with dough hook, (or thermo – mixers and knead for 2 minutes). (If no mixer just do this the old fashioned way on the work bench)
  • Roll into 8 balls (mine weighed 95g each). Roll ball out into a sausage that is just long enough to roll around the palm of your hand.
  • Wrap around the palm of your hand with the ends in your palm, squeeze the 2 ends together, and slightly roll bagel with a flattened palm on a flat surface. This will seal the ends. Repeat. Baste bagels with cold water and dunk the top into the seasoning, and place bagels, seasoning side up onto a baking tray. Bake 10-12 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through. Serve.

Notes

These bagels can be frozen before or after cooking.  For easy use and thawing split before freezing

    I never attempted to make bagels, and since we all love bagels in our house, the jalapeno is my husband’s favorite bagel; I cannot wait to try it.

    I have combed over this bagel recipe looking for the jalapeños and goat cheese amounts and do not see it anywhere.

    I don’t have a mixer with a dough hook. Will normal beaters work or just mixing by hand (a lot)

    Absolutely Brilliant, better than wheat everyday bagel. Made it for my partner and he said he will not go back to normal bagels.

    1. Megan Mad Creations Hub

      That is so awesome! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.

    Hey….my mix (and my sisters mix) is sooo watery it’s impossible to even handle it…pure liquid…help?

    1. Megan Mad Creations Hub

      How can it be watery when there is no liquid?

  16. Lyn Wishart

    I’m just wondering about the amount of baking powder? I’ve never used such a large amount before but I’m sure you’re the one who knows best 👌🏼

    1. Megan

      It is used to force rise in non-gluten flours. The amount is correct.

    Finally got around to making these! Omg! Wow! I didn’t worry about the goats cheese or jalapenos, but they were still awesome! Made the seasoning as well, but had to improvise with a couple of the ingredients. Love that I will know have a stash in my freezer! Bonus!

    Megan roughly how long is the roll as I have a large hand LOL

    1. Megan

      Probably around 25 cm. I dont exactly has a small hand either lol. Alternatively you can just make a bun and push a finger through the centre then gently pull the dough out a little to leave a good sized hole in the middle
