Keto Bagels Recipe Notes

As I mentioned, not much to these keto bagels! Although there are a few ingredients I should point out before getting started.

Ingredient Notes

Almond flour is the keto flour we’ll be using here, as it most closely resembles wheat flour in taste and texture. Opt for fine-grained almond flour for best results, such as Bob’s Red Mill or Trader Joe’s brand.

Psyllium Husk – Almond flour is significantly more dense than wheat flour, and needs an ingredient to add “fluff”, which is where psyllium husk comes in. Without it, these keto bagels would be dense blocks!

Psyllium husk is extremely fibrous and absorbs liquid, which is why we add so much water to this recipe.

I only recommend using NOW psyllium husk powder, as each brand absorbs liquids differently (and can make these keto bagels dense!), while other brands can add blue-ish purple tint.

Whey Protein Powder – This ingredient adds additional “fluff” to the keto bagels. Not all keto protein powders will do this the same, and this recipe has only been tested with ISO Pure Zero Carb.

Seasoning – You can use whatever you fancy here! I LOVE everything but the bagel (which is suuuper cheap at Trader Joes!).

Storing Tips

Store leftover low carb bagels in the fridge in a resealable baggie. Slice in half and reheat them in your toaster oven or toaster for a crispy edge!

I love freezing these — just be sure to slice before freezing. You can quickly defrost your bagels in the microwave, then toast per usual.

  • Toasted with cream cheese.
  • With your favorite keto egg salad, like this avocado egg salad.
  • Breakfast sandwiches with crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, tomato slices, and a fried egg.
  • Make keto pizzabagels!Use an unsliced bagel as you would any pizza crust — start with sauce, cheese, then all the toppings.

  • Make asiago bagels by covering the top of them in asiago cheese before tossing them in the oven.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Combine dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

  • Add the liquid and stir to combine. Set dough aside for 10 minutes as the liquid absorbs.

  • Use wet hands to form the dough into 4 balls, then roll each ball between your damp hands to smooth out the surface. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet and slightly press on the top to form a disc -- this will ultimately be the shape of your bagel (it won't rise much), so make it as flat or keep it as tall as you would like. I run my hands under water between forming each bagel for the smoothest surface. Press your index finger all the way through the bagel in the center.

  • Sprinkle the top of your bagels with seasoning, then gently press to adhere.

  • Baking in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes.

  • Allow bagels to cool before slicing. Slice each in half, if the center needs to be cooked a little longer, you can place them back in the oven, or just toast them. Enjoy!

Lindsey's Tips

  • Almond Flour. Using fine-grained almond flour will yield the most "flour-like" results. My favorite brands are Bob's Red Mill, Trader Joe's, or Costco brands.
  • Psyllium Husk. This recipe has ONLY been tested with NOW Psyllium Husk Powder. Some psyllium husk powders can turn baked goods into a blue-ish purple color, and they absorb liquids in varying amounts.
