Keto Bagels

Keto Bagels are made with shredded mozzarella, almond flour, cream cheese, and psyllium husk powder to yield low-carb bagels with a chewy texture and mild flavor. The dough is heated to melt cheeses before mixing with dry ingredients and shaped into traditional bagel rings. Baking produces golden bagels with a slightly crispy crust and soft center, suitable for low-carb or keto diets.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup / 175g mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1 cup / 100g almond flour extra fine. Increase to 1 ¼ cup / 125g when using ground almonds.
  • 1 egg large, beaten
  • 4 tbsp / 50g cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • poppy seeds optional, or sesame seeds

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit.
  2. Melt the mozzarella and cream cheese in the microwave (60-90 seconds). Or, melt on the stovetop over low heat in a non-stick pan.  
  3. In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients - almond flour, psyllium husk powder and baking powder.
  4. Add dry ingredients plus the beaten egg to the melted mozzarella mixture. Combine with a spatula, then knead with your hands until you have a smooth dough. Alternatively, mix in a stand mixer or food processor.
  5. Form a large dough ball and cut it into 6 segments. 
  6. Form each segment into a log (11 centimetres long). Lay them down in a circle and pinch the ends together to make bagel shapes.
  7. Place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with poppy seeds or sesame seeds. 
  8. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden. 

Notes

  • Each bagel contains approximately 4 grams of net carbs, making them suitable for low-carb diets.
  • If the dough feels sticky, lightly oil your hands before shaping the bagels.
  • Ensure the dough is at room temperature before baking to prevent flattening and promote proper rise.
  • The bagels should be shaped with tall rings and sizable holes, as they will spread slightly while baking.
  • When using coarser almond flour or ground almonds, increase the almond flour to 1 ¼ cups (125 g) for better texture.
  • Once cooled, the bagels firm up but can be reheated in the microwave or toasted.
  • Store leftover bagels in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for extended storage.
