Quick reminder: When you’re following a keto diet, carbs are bad, fat is good. So you might think that a bagel, the carbiest of carbs, could never be made keto. Well you thought wrong! This bagel is tasty, easy to make and keto. Here is how we made these keto bagels:
Sub almond flour for bread flour.
Almond flour (aka almond meal) is simply finely ground blanched almonds. It’s much lower in carbs than all-purpose and bread flours, and it’s naturally gluten-free.
Add (a lot) of mozzarella cheese.
If the bagels were only made with almond flour and eggs, they’d be crumbly AF and, quite frankly, not very delish. Melted cheese helps create a chewy texture and adds a lot of flavor—and fat. Remember, fat=good when you’re eating keto!
Does the dough need to rise?
Nope! And you don’t need to knead it either. Which means the bagels comes together in way less than an hour.
Can I make my own everything seasoning?
Of course. You’ll just need sesame seeds, granulated garlic, granulated onion, and poppy seeds.
