I think for most people, there comes a point in your keto journey where you JUST WANT SOME BREAD! Especially in the morning. Well, here is a super easy keto bagel recipe just for you!
The eggs, bacon and avocados just weren’t doing it for me anymore. I missed having a variety. I missed having bagels and cream cheese. Up until then, I had never tried to make any kind of low-carb/keto friendly baked goods. I just did without and I was fine.
However, since I couldn’t stomach another day of my usual breakfast, I decided I was going to attempt to make some easy low-carb/keto friendly bagels. I scoured the internet looking for the best recipe and of course, I added my own Asian twist to them. To my surprise, they were so easy to make and really satisfied my bagel and cream cheese craving.
Disclaimer, if you’re expecting it to taste just like a regular bagel, it won’t be that. These keto bagel are easy to make, but it’s gluten free so won’t have the same exact texture. However, it will be a delicious bread-like bagel that you can eat with cream cheese or your favorite toppings.
When making this, make sure you really mix the dough well. Don’t be afraid to get in there with your hands and if the mozzarella and Almond Flour are not coming together well, just pop it in the microwave for a few seconds and knead until everything is completely combined.
Doing this will ensure these easy to make keto bagel have the right texture. Furikake is a dry Japanese seasoning usually sprinkled on rice and creates a savory umami flavor. You can omit the furikake and just make them plain, or sprinkle your choice of toppings.
Now, let’s get started!
