Low Carb Bagels for Quick Breakfasts & Slow Brunches

With only 1.7g net carbs, these low carb bagels are perfect for a keto diet!  They make a healthy satisfying breakfast and they’re great for making sandwiches too.  They’re nutrient dense and perfect for a quick grab and go breakfast as you run out the door or a leisurely Sunday brunch.

The base of these bagels is coconut flour, which makes this a gluten free recipe as well.  You can substitute almond flour or almond meal, but they will turn out slightly sweeter.

If you do make that substitution, you may want to bake them for only 15 minutes instead of 20.  I also like the fact that  each of these keto bagels (using coconut flour) pack almost 5g of protein! 

How to make low carb bagels

This recipe calls for a few key ingredients, but they are really easy to find.  If you live out in the boondocks like I do and they’re not available at your grocer, check out Amazon.

1. In a small bowl, mix together
2. Whip 4 egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon salt until they form stiff peaks.
3. While the egg whites are whipping, mix 4 egg yolks with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar.
4. Add the dry ingredient mixture to the egg yolk and stir until well combined.
5. In a large bowl, fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture.
6. Spray a bagel tin with non-stick spray and divide batter equally into the bagel forms.  Bake for 20 minutes at 350F until they’re golden brown. 

Before popping them into the oven, sprinkle a large flake salt on top like Maldon, poppy seeds, or your favorite bagel seasoning for a little added pop of crunch.

If they don’t slip right out of the pan, gently pry them out with a rubber spatula.  Then slice them and slather them with butter or cream cheese.  These bagels will easily keep in an air tight container for 5 days and they freeze well too.

How to have these low carb bagels on hand all the time

Make several batches ahead of time by mixing all the dry ingredients together and storing them individually in their own baggies.  When you’re ready to bake: separate your eggs, whip up the egg whites, add the dry ingredients to your yolk mixture, fold in the whites and bake.
