All the delicious flavors of an everything bagel – sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic flakes, onion flakes and pretzel salt baked up in this low-carb, keto, Gluten-Free recipe that is sure to satisfy!
Every morning I drop my son off to daycare and head to work passing by one of my favorite bagel cafe’s. Oh how I long for the days when I would stop in and grab an everything bagel with chive cream cheese. The first bite was loaded with all that topping goodness! It was a burst of flavor and chive cream cheese – I mean who doesn’t love a bagel?! Right! I couldn’t take it – the bagel craving was intense so it was time to find low carb everything bagel recipe and make it happen. Not to say I can’t have a good old-fashioned bagel but my “cheat day” wasn’t today and I couldn’t wait!
The buzz in the Keto community for a bread alternative is “fathead dough”.
This is a simple low-carb everything bagel recipe consisting of 4 main ingredients: almond flour, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese and eggs. You can also find this recipe using coconut flour, which has a slightly sweeter taste. I plan on trying that recipe next to see which flavor profile I prefer. Which flour do you prefer, drop a comment and let me know?
The recipe itself is pretty straight forward. Melt, mix, form bagel holes or use a silicone bagel pan and bake.
I don’t have a special bagel pan so I decided to do it freehand. I think the pictures say it all! These bagels baked up plump and perfect, so no need to go and buy any extra molds. Unnecessary if you ask me.
I’ve added a few notes to the recipe below so make sure and read each step. I hope your bagels bake up plump and fat like these beauties!
