These Keto Everything Bagels are so close to the real thing, that you won't feel deprived at all. Chewy and delicious. Best of all, they are ready in less than 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- Mozzarella - for this recipe, I recommend using a pre-shredded low moisture, part skim cheese.
- Almond flour - for a chewier, less grainy texture, I recommend using a blanched almond flour or a superfine almond flour.
- Everything Bagel Seasoning - Instead of buying a store-bought version, I make my own. You can find my recipe here. If you aren't a fan of everything seasoning, you can sub sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or even leave them plain.

To take this bagel recipe and turn it into a sweet version, simply omit the garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning from the bagel dough, and brush the top with a mix of sweetener and cinnamon. Recipe: Keto Cinnamon Sugar (free) Bagels
This low carb bagel recipe is made of a version of fathead dough. Fathead dough is usually made with a combination of almond flour, cheese, and eggs.
The main ingredients of fathead dough are blanched almond flour, mozzarella cheese, and eggs. Combined, they make an amazing low carb dough that is incredibly versatile and can be made either savory or sweet. I have used it to make Low Carb Empanadas, Keto Chicken Pot Pie, Everything Bagel Dogs, Ham and Cheese Hot Pockets and more.
Yes, you canmake the bagels and freeze them to reheat at a later time. I recommend reheating them in the oven.

Description
A quick and easy low carb bagel recipe. Great for meal prep and perfect for an easy weekday breakfast.
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour (get it here)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (I use this brand)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 3 large eggs, divided
- 3 cups shredded low moisture mozzarella cheese
- 5 tablespoons cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons Everything Bagel Seasoning (Get the recipe here)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined. I like to put the mixture through a flour sifter to ensure that all the baking powder gets mixed in with the rest of the ingredients.
- Crack one of the eggs into a small bowl and fork whisk. This will be the egg wash for the top of the bagels. The other two eggs will go in the dough.
- In a large microwave safe mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir to combine. Return to microwave for 1 additional minute. Mix until well combined.
- To the mixing bowl, add the remaining 2 eggs and the almond flour mixture. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. If the dough gets too stringy and unworkable, simply put it back in the microwave for 30 seconds to soften and continue mixing.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
- Gently press your finger into the center of each dough ball to form a ring. Stretch the ring to make a small hole in the center and form it into a bagel shape.
- Brush the top of each bagel with the egg wash.
- Top each bagel with Everything Bagel Seasoning.
- Bake on the middle rack for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
If you do not have a silicone baking mat or parchment paper, you can also bake these on foil, in a large donut pan, or on a greased baking sheet.

Hello
How would you make these without the special pan? Cookie sheet? How put something in middle so they don't close?
thanks
Jen says
Has anyone tried subbing the almond flour with anything? I'm hoping it'll work with sunflower seed flour.
Melanie Martinez says
Hi Jen,
Yes today I used 1 cup coconut flour with 1/2 cup flaxseed meal, they came out perfect.
Monica says
Made these for the forest time tonight! Super easy and OMG! I will not miss store brought everything bagles with these yummy gems! Thank you for sharing recipe!
Leah says
I made these with sunflower flour instead of almond flour, same 2 cups and found I had to add a little coconut flour because the dough was too sticky to handle. But they are very good.
Ash says
These look amazing and seem to be all the rage in a few keto groups I am in. Could you share the conversions if using coconut flour?
Thank you!
Marcia Little says
Oh Kendra, I LOVE YOU! These are awesome! I made them with the everything seasoning and used most of them for burger buns or sandwich makings, so GOOD! I stored in freezer. and thawed and rewarmed before using. THANK YOU!
Catherine h Ford says
is there a reason the eggs are divided and yet the directions say they go in whole? I am just wondering if i need to put the egg whites in and then the yolks or only the yolks or only the whites, etc.
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Yes, because they are divided in quantity. One is for the egg wash. If they were meant to be only whites and then yolks, it would say separated and not divided
Lisa M Buder says
oops, I just only used the yolks lol... hopefully they will turn out
Rachel Huffman says
I'm going to try making these into cinnamon bagels. I miss them so much! I'll let you know how they turn out!
Rachael says
Did you try it yet? I was just thinking of doing the same thing! Swerve and cinnamon to replace the garlic, onion, and Italian seasonings, and I was contemplating a sugar-free cream cheese frosting for them.
Donna says
I love cinnamon bagels. Please let me know how you make them. Thanks
Brooke says
Can you do these without the seasoning on top!? Or maybe just plain poppy seeds?
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Yes, you can seasoning it however you like
David A. Ellis says
I have a general question similar to the one above: most of the dough recipes have the spices inside the dough...do they work w/o? I prefer a plain dough/with the flavors on the outside. If that makes sence...?
Peace Love and Low Carb says
Yes, it will work just perfectly without any seasonings or with different seasonings. 🙂
John Lesko says
Definitely going to try these. I bet they would make amazing omelet sandwiches.
