Everyone is tired of eating the same breakfast. Trust me, I get it. Bacon and eggs are only good for so long. But what if you piled your bacon and eggs onto a bagel? A KETO BAGEL! That's exactly what I did. I added fresh spinach, too!

How to Make Keto Low Carb Bagels
Detailed measurements and full instructions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- You will need to microwave mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Next, add almond flour and eggs.
- Stir and combine to form a dough.
How Many Carbs
There are 2 net carbs in these keto fathead bagels, compared to 44 net carbs in traditional bagels.
Which Bread Has the Least Amount of Carbohydrates?
Ezekial Flax bread is pretty low in carbs, but not low enough for ketosis (in my opinion). You can read more about Ezekial Bread and Sugar Free Staples here.
Additional Toppings and Add-ins
- Everything But the Bagel Seasoning
- Homemade Ranch Seasoning
- Cheddar Cheese
- Cinnamon and Monkfruit
What Can I Substitute for Bread?
Fathead dough can go a long way. I've used it to make Keto Biscuits, Keto Cinnamon Rolls, and Keto Pizza.
Do You Use Coconut or Almond Flour for this Recipe?
I recommend almond flour. Coconut and almond flour absorb moisture differently.
How to Store the Bagels
I store mine in sealable plastic bags in the fridge. They will last up to a week in the fridge.
Freezer Tips
The bagels will last for 2 months in the freezer in an airtight container or bag.

Keto Low-Carb Bagels
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- Everything But the Bagel Seasoning see below on how to make your own
Homemade Everything But the Bagel Seasoning
- 2 teaspoons white sesame seeds
- 1 ½ teaspoons black sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 1 teaspoon dried minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon poppyseeds
Instructions
- Watch the video instructions above.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
- Add the almond flour and baking powder to a large bowl. Stir to combine.
- Add the cream cheese and shredded mozzarella to a separate bowl. Microwave for 60 seconds.
- Remove the bowl from the microwave.
- Stir in the almond flour. The mixture may become really thick and difficult to stir. If so, place the bowl back in the microwave for another 30 seconds.Remove from the microwave and stir. Add in the egg. Stir until the mixture forms dough. Ensure the cheese is fully melted and mixed. If there are large pieces of cheese, they will form on the outside of the bagel.
- Wet your hands with water. Knead the dough with your hands to form one large ball.
- Use a silicone spoon to scoop out 8 balls of dough. You will likely need to wet your hands in between forming each ball. Place them on the silicone baking mat.
- Use your fingers or a butter knife to create a circle in the middle of each ball. As the dough bakes and rises in the oven, the holes will close up some. Be sure to make the holes large enough so that when the dough rises and spreads the bagel doesn't close completely. You can also check in on the bagels while they are in the oven. If you see the circles closing up, use a knife to open them back up.
- Wet a cooking brush or your hands and wet the top of each bagel. This will help the seasoning stick.
- Sprinkle the Everything but the Bagel Seasoning throughout each bagel.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden-brown. Mine were ready right at 20 minutes.

I don’t know how you came up with only two net carbs for the bagel. When I enter the information into recipe builder I get nine net carbs per bagel. That is a very big difference. I used the exact same ingredients and double checked my measurements
staysnatched says
Nine net carbs is a huge difference and does not sound accurate if you followed the recipe. Please list the exact brands you used in the recipe along with your amounts and servings used in your calc.
Jack Jacobs says
Funny I get 3.3 g carbs
Pamela Hubbard says
@staysnatched, I get 5 net carbs. 7 carbs and 2 fiber. Used all the ingredients as told
staysnatched says
Ok
Cameron says

staysnatched says
Wonderful! I'm so glad you enjoyed them!
Adrie says
Delicious! I had to force myself to only eat one per day! They were easier to make than I thought they'd be. I made half of the batch with the everything bagel seasoning and the other half without it. Great recipe chef!
staysnatched says
haha! I love that!
Lila says
My favorite recipe! These bagels are delicious, soft and great for breakfast. I make it at least once a month.
staysnatched says
Yum! That’s awesome!
Kristen says
This is my third recipe of yours that I’ve made now and it did not disappoint. It is the easiest to make fathead type recipe I have found. This was so good toasted with cream cheese and I have already hid them in the fridge from my kids.
staysnatched says
I love the hiding them idea. Bagels can go fast!
Shanique says

staysnatched says
I'm so glad you enjoyed them!
Lynn says
How important is it to form the hole in the center?
If I don't make a joke will the bagel bake ok and just look like a bun when it's done?
Thanks. Lynn
Lynn says
I meant "hole" not joke. Dang spell check!
Hol says
These are amazing!!! And even if they are not exactly 2 carbs they are not 44 carbs and taste amazing. Thank you for posting these will help me!

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed them!

staysnatched says
I'm glad you can make these a staple!
Eris says
These looked promising but I can't seem to get the inside to cook and the Longer I cooked them the flatter they got? Please help!!!!
staysnatched says
I've never had this problem. You may not be using active baking powder or your baking powder is old.
Susan says
EXCELLENT! Haven’t had bagels since starting a low-carb 50:30:20 diet in early January! These were AMAZING and easy to make. What a treat!!! Thanks for sharing another excellent recipe! Every recipe I’ve tried from your low-carb / keto collection has been fabulous!

I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Tina Cardenas says
Can recommend another type of flour, I have am almond allergy
staysnatched says
Almond flour is my preference and what I’ve used for testing. I recommend typing the flour you typically use along with the word bagel into google. There are usually lots of recipes.
Mariza says
This is the second time I made these keto bagels and it was so good that my husband is requesting them now for breakfast lol. Thank you ♥️

You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoy them.
Anya McInroy says
Ugh YES! I did a quick google search for “low carb bagels” and stumbled upon this recipe! It definitely didn’t disappoint, I’ll be making these often! Perfectly golden brown on the outside and just so tasty. So happy I found you!

Another great recipe! And so quick and easy to make!
staysnatched says
Yes! These bagels are easy for breakfast.
Cathy McCann says
Loved this recipe. My kiddo is dairy free so I substituted Daiya mozzarella shreds and Kite Hill vegan cream cheese. They came out great, just toasted them a couple of minutes after slicing as the vegan cheese is a little softer. So happy to have GF bagels!
staysnatched says
I love your substitutions!
Robin danford says
These are very good. I will definitely make them again!
staysnatched says
I love to hear that!

These came out perfect! I’m not a baker and this was easy for me and came out just like the picture. They taste great!!
staysnatched says
Yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed them.
Shannon H says
I have been eye balling these for awhile. I finally decided to make them. I may have cooked them a little too long but that’s on me. Very tasty!!!
staysnatched says
I'm glad you got around to them!
Emily Rodrigue says
WOW! Absolutely shocked by how easy and wonderful this recipe came out! I love that the ingredients are minimal and simple. I baked mine on parchment paper because we don’t have a silicone mat and they still came out perfect. The second half of my dough rested for 20 mins while the first half baked, which resulted in them actually coming out a little fluffier. So delicious right out of the oven with a little butter 😍 I fully plan to make these bi-weekly. Thank you!!
staysnatched says
You're welcome! I hope you enjoy them time and time again.
Charlotte says
Love this! Easy to follow directions. Delicious and so many ways to use in other recipes. I’m going to use as a pizza dough. Thank you!
staysnatched says
It works wonderfully as pizza dough!
DeAdra says
Very tasty! Easy to make.
staysnatched says
Wonderful! I'm so glad you enjoyed them!

Sara Solano says
Best bread substitute out there. I make mine with eggs, prosciutto and mashed avocado. I wished I could share a picture. Soooo sooo good. Highly recommend
staysnatched says
That sounds so good!
Patty says
Sooo good! I did sift the almond flour and baking powder. Seemed to work out great!
staysnatched says
So glad you enjoyed them!
Wandawoman says
Can you use a non-stick doughnut pan for these?
staysnatched says
I've never tried it. If it works out, let me know!
Anita Hughes says
Easy to make and they make the kitchen smell awesome 👏

I'm so glad you enjoyed them!

I made these today. Thank you for the recipe - what a great alternative to regular bagels!
staysnatched says
Wonderful! I'm glad you enjoyed them.
Keri says
I made these tonight because I had an enormous amount of mozzarella from Costco and needed to use it. They were FABULOUS.
Putting them in a ziplock in fridge as the notes say, and eating them all week.
Will definitely make them again! So easy and so fast!
staysnatched says
Yes! Such a quick recipe.
Adrienne says
When in doubt always check first to see if Brandi got the recipe these bagels turned out perfectly delicious! Thanks Brandi
staysnatched says
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed these!
Kandace says
Fantastic whole family loved them Thank-you!
I wish I could do a photo they are so pretty....:)
staysnatched says
I'm so glad to hear that!
Julie says
I made these last night, very easy to make. I didn't have the everything but bagel seasoning but topped them with some extra sharp shredded cheese. They are good but I was wondering if the mozzarella cheese could be decreased so the bagel has a bit more bread consistency?
staysnatched says
Feel free to test it out and let me know! I love the consistency of the recipe.
Tlb says
This was so easy to make. These were delicious, and really satisfied that bagel craving. Next I will change almond flour brand as the one I tried was a little grainy.
Will definitely make again!!
Would love to recipes for other bagel flavors, like blueberry, strawberry, etc.
staysnatched says
I'm glad you enjoyed them!
Lisa says
These were such a great treat for anyone but especially those who are gf and really miss a bagel. These were delicious and I will definitely be making them again with a variety of toppings! Thank you so much!
staysnatched says
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed them.
