Keto baked goods are a unique kind of culinary challenge. Baking without flour and with so much added fat is tricky, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done. These keto everything bagels are proof! Almond flour and lots of cheese, including cream cheese, make up the base, so you may not even need added spread as a topping. If you’re looking to make these last, stick them in the freezer and thaw/toast whenever you want a bagel.
Because of the fat content in this recipe, the dough can be a bit sticky and hard to handle. Also, unlike traditional baking, you can’t exactly flour your hands and the work surface. Instead, try a little bit of oil on both if you’re struggling to shape your dough into something resembling a bagel.
