Keto Bagels

Step by Step Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, whey protein powder, inulin, xanthan gum, baking powder, optional brown sugar free sweetener, and salt.

   To make the version without inulin, use 1 1/2 cups almond flour total and omit the inulin. Keep the 1/4 cup whey protein powder. This version may need up to 2 tablespoons extra water in the next step.

3. 3

   Mix in the egg, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons hot water until the dough holds together. If using the almond flour alternative without inulin, add extra water a little at a time only if needed, up to 2 more tablespoons.

4. 4

   With lightly wet hands, divide the dough into four equal balls. Set them about 2 inches apart on the tray. Make a hole in the center of each, widening it a little more than a typical bagel hole because the dough rises inward. Brush the tops with the separate egg white. Add seeds or other optional toppings now.

5. 5

   Bake at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, starting to check at 10 minutes. The tops should be golden and the centers set, with no wet dough inside. Continue baking if needed. Let the bagels cool before slicing, then toast if desired.
