Making low carb simple
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C) and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- Place the mozzarella and cream cheese in a medium, microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir. Repeat in 30-second bursts until the cheese has melted and can be easily combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour and baking powder, until well combined. Add the egg and almond flour mix, to the melted cheese. Mix well until a smooth dough forms. Kneading it on a non-stick surface helps with this process!
- Divide the dough into as many parts as portions in the recipe, and form into bun shapes. Place on your lined baking tray.
- Use your thumb, or the handle of a wooden spoon, to push a hole through the center of each bun and then shape it further until you have bagel shapes.
- Place the seeds and seasoning for the topping mix into a small bowl and give it a quick stir to combine.
- Crack the second egg into a bowl and beat until combined.
- Brush the top of each bagel liberally with the beaten egg and then sprinkle with your topping mixture.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
Naomi's tips!
These bagels can be served in so many delicious ways, but my favorite ways are with smoked salmon, cream cheese, and capers or dill; or with bacon and grilled cheese.
These bagels can be frozen and reheated in the toaster or oven.

I didn't make the hole big enough, so it kind of disappeared during baking - will make the hole bigger and the bagels more flat next time.
Had the first 2 with butter, cream cheese, thin cucumber slices and flake salt - delicious!
However I got a different calories and carb count - of course it depends on the cheese etc that you use, and how many bagels you make from one portion - but with the ingredients I used, 1 bagel (based on 9 bagels with double portion) will make 212 calories, 15 grams of fat, 2 grams of carbs, and 12 grams of protein.
Instead of flaxseeds, I used a little Nigella seeds (wouldn't like flaxseed on bagels) - was perfect!
We have not tested this recipe with coconut flour.
See the full recipe on her site All Day I Dream About Food (https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/chewy-keto-bagels/), but here is the ingredient list:
I Used everything bagel type seasoning on top.
Did they taste like a NY Deli bagel? No. But they made a similarly dense bread which tasted & had the texture of bread more than other recipes I've tried.
Thank you for this simple & good tasting option!
I made 4 bagels out of this recipe and they were normal bagel size.
will try and make them again.
The cheese gives kind of a more chewy texture and I am not aware of a way to make low carb bagels without them.
They do! I had one left over after breakfast sandwiches, and toasted it at dinner time, put some butter on it, and it was really satisfying!
Are you subtracting out the fiber? Our recipe nutrition information reflects net carbs. Additionally some brands of almond flour are higher carb than others.
For those in the UK, I use Aldi ground almonds, net carbs 5.6g per bagel but that's fine as one bagel filled with pastrami, sliced cheese and sliced gherkin is more than filling for lunch.
Yes, that will still work well.
Be sure to adjust the nutrition information for the substitution.
What a wonderful plan you have for the week!
Can it be stored in the freezer? I want to bake a large amount.
Yes, these bagels will freeze well!
We haven't tested this recipe with cream of tartar, but you could certainly give it a try! Let us know how it turns out!
Just waiting for mine to finish in the oven- 5 mins to go and they look and smell great
Question - I made recipe/instructions for 4
I rolled 4 bagels but please tell me how many on average the recipe is for.
Scared to eat if I’ve made too few and therefor too large
If you made the recipe for 4 servings, and got 4 bagels then yes, one is a serving.
