I dare you to make these scrumptious keto bagels right now! This 5-ingredient recipe is made of mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, almond flour, baking powder and eggs plus seasoned with everything but the bagel seasoning!
I just love cheese - on toasts, soups, salads and even on some of my chicken recipes. I was never really a bagel person until I saw a video on tiktok on how easy to make keto bagels. It requires no yeast, no kneading, only lots and lots of mozzarella and cream cheese which I absolutely love. So, I decided to try it!
How to Make Keto Bagels?
The ingredients for keto bagels recipe
You only need 5 main ingredients to make these keto bagels.
- 1 and 1/2cupsalmond flour
- 1tablespoonbaking powder
- 2 and 1/2cupspre-shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2ouncescream cheese
- Eggs (1 whole egg + 1 egg yolk)
Most of the recipes I found online calls for 1-3 eggs, but I choose to only have 1 egg and 1 extra egg yolk with the egg white reserve for egg wash.
Optional ingredient - Everything but the bagelseasoning for topping.
They say this is highly recommended because it makes the bagel tastes so much better. But in my opinion, the bagel is good without it. I don't like my bagel salty and garlicky. Topping it with sesame seeds for texture and color is enought.
You can get Everything but the bagel from Trader Joe's or Amazon Fresh for less than 3 dollars.
Onto the Steps
Step 1. As always, preheat the oven (400 degrees F) and at the same time prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper lining.
Step 2. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine almond flour and baking powder. You may want to sift the flour mixture using a mesh but it's not required.
Step 3. In a separate bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese. Melt the cheese mixture in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Once melted, thoroughly blend them together using a spatula.
Step 4. Add in the flour mixture to the melted cheeses. Add the eggs. Continue combining and folding them altogether until it forms to an even dough.
The dough can be very sticky at this point, you have to oil your hands to make the next step easier.
Step 5. Divide the dough into 6. Take one slice of dough and roll it into a small log. Connect both ends to form a bagel. Place it into the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process for the rest of the 5 slices of dough. Make sure to make spaces in between each bagel.
(Optional) Step 6. Brush the bagels with the reserved egg whites. Top all of them with everything but the bagel seasoning.
Egg wash helps the bagels achieve a golden brown color.
Everything but the bagel seasoning has salt and garlic to it so you may want to ease up on this because the dough is quite salty itself already because of the mozzarella in the dough.
You can either choose to top the bagels before or after baking.
Step 7. Bake for 15 minutes. Let it set and cool before serving.
Some Notes
- As usual, preheat the oven at the right temperature to avoid over or under baking.
- Oil your hands when forming the dough because it can be very sticky
- You can use a donut pan if you have it to bake the bagels
- Everything but the bagel seasoning is optional, you may choose not to top your bagels with it.
- Make sure your baking powder is not out of date. This will cause your bagels to spread.
