Keto Bagels: Cuisine HELP

These bagels are super versatile, a must-try keto recipe!

A few weeks into his ketogenic diet my husband Kyle came into the kitchen and said, "I want to quit, I just miss carbs!" After 3+ weeks eating low carb he was dealing with some major cravings. I was in the process of making some gluten free bagels for our kids so I decided to google "keto bagels" and see what came up.

I found this recipe and whipped up this batch in less than 20 minutes. I took one warm out of the oven and made an egg and cheese bagel sandwich for Kyle. He enjoyed it for his lunch, and within minutes he texted expressing his great satisfaction! Crisis averted; he is still going strong on keto!

Here is the original recipe.

How I Make It

I mixed up the dough using my food processor and it worked really well. I haven't tried mixing the dough by hand, but you could do that if you don't have a food processor. Just make sure that the ingredients are well incorporated. You can always stick the dough mixture back in the microwave to soften more if needed.

I like to weigh my ingredients in grams using my kitchen scale. This really helps with consistency in most recipes. I included the weights I used in parentheses below.

I let the bagels cool on the pan, then sliced and stored them in a Ziploc bag in the refrigerator.

We enjoyed these with cream cheese, as various sandwiches, and as my favorite - bagel pizzas (pictured below).

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups (196 grams) of almond flour
• 1 TBLS baking powder
• 3 cups shredded mozzarella (360 grams)
• 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 3 large eggs, divided
• Everything Bagel seasoning or sesame seeds (optional)
