The Best Keto Low Carb Bagels with Everything Seasoning
The No. 1 reason people adopt the keto diet? Weight loss. Initially, the weight loss comes from loss of water, because you cut down on carbs in your diet and your body uses up the carbohydrates stored in the liver, which hold onto water. The diet results in further weight loss because it encourages you to load up on whole foods and satisfying healthy fats, Nisevich Bede says.
By cutting carbs, you’ll also cut sugar, which means a steadier supply of energy (no more sugar highs and crashes!). Research shows that the keto diet leads to fewer hunger pangs and a lower desire to eat.
There are few versions out there to make keto low carb bagels, but if you tried the fat head dough and made pizza out of it, you probably appreciate how delicious fat head pizza crust is.If you love bagels, why not make a keto low carb bagels out of the fat head dough that practically require 5 ingredients, very easy to make, chewy and delicious. And if you sprinkle “Everything but bagel” seasoning on top and bake with it, oh you will be in a bagel heaven without added load of carbs and sugar, and which definitely doesn’t taste low-carby.

Recipe type: Keto, Low Carb
Cuisine: Any
Serves: 6
Ingredients
1 and ½ cups shredded mozzarella
3 TBS cream cheese
1 egg
1 cup Almond flour
1 tsp baking powder
Optional ingredients:
1 tsp spices like, dried oregano, basil, garlic powder
For topping:
Everything but the bagel seasoning or seasoning of your choice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Microwave Mozzarella and cream cheese in a bowl until soft, about 40 seconds.
Add egg, Almond flour, remaining ingredients and spices and stir and blend well using spatula into a dough ball.
Optional - you can proceed right away but for best results - let the mixture cool or freeze it for 30 minutes or else the dough may be sticky
Divide the dough into 6 parts. Form a long log with each piece by rolling with your hands, then press the ends together to make a bagel shape on the lined baking sheet. You can use the bagel/donut pan if you have it. I didn't have the pan, so rolling by hand and forming the dough into a circle works just fine. (see photo below)
Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the bagels and gently press into the dough. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the bagels are firm and golden.
Serve fresh out of the oven, sliced in half and spread with cream cheese.
Notes
Leftovers (if any left) can be refrigerated for up to a week
Leftovers can be frozen as well - if freezing leftovers, slice bagel ahead of time. Place in toaster and toast for 1 minute.
If you have a nut allergy, try Gluten free baking flour instead or Sunflower seed flour (meal)
If you don't have a microwave, melting ingredients on stove top will work too.
Try these bagels as bun or sandwich option - works amazing!
