Homemade Bagel Bites Recipe

You all loved my other bagel bites recipes so much that I just had to get back in the kitchen and create a new flavor! If you’ve tried my other two recipes, you know how easy they are to make, and you can guess by the name that this new variety won’t disappoint. I used my favorite dairy-free parmesan from Panacheeza in this recipe to give these bagel bites their irresistable cheesy flavor, and if you haven’t tried it yet, trust me – it’s a total game changer! I gave up on vegan cheese years ago because most options on the market are filled with processed ingredients, gums, oils and fillers, and most of them just taste terrible. Needless to say, I was over the moon when I discovered Panacheeza because it’s made with only 5 real, whole food ingredients, and it tastes just like the parmesan you know and love!

If you haven’t tried it yet, check it out HERE and get ready to have your taste buds blown away. (They even gave me a 10% OFF code just for my followers: JACKFRUITFUL). This cheesy sprinkle is my ultimate secret weapon in the kitchen, adding a burst of umami to just about anything.

Not only is this cheesy bagel bite recipe ridiculously easy to make, but it’s also completely grain-free and keto-friendly. Perfect for breakfast, snacking or sending along with your kid’s lunch; they are sure to be a favorite with everyone in the house hold – picky eaters included! With just five ingredients, including my favorite dairy-free Panacheeza parmesan, these bagel bites are a low-carb treat that doesn’t compromise on flavor. Roll up those sleeves because it’s time to make these babies!

Keto Vegan Dairy Free Parmesan Bagel Bites Ingredients

  • Almond Flour: The main ingredient for these bagel bites, providing a grain-free, low-carb base that’s perfect for those following a keto diet. Made from finely ground almonds, it’s packed with healthy fats, protein, and fiber. The mild, slightly nutty flavor of almond flour complements the savory ingredients, giving these bagel bites a deliciously rich taste. You can use any flour you’d like for this recipe however ratios may differ slightly.
  • Panacheeza Parmesan: Panacheeza dairy free parmesan has totally changed the game in my kitchen. You can find me sprinkling it on just about everything! In this recipe, the Panacheeza adds a rich, cheesy flavor to these grain-free bagel bites without using any dairy. It’s made from just a few simple, plant-based ingredients, making it a clean and healthy choice for those avoiding dairy. The parmesan’s umami flavor enhances the overall taste of the bagel bites, making them totally irresistible. Rolling the dough in extra Panacheeza before baking adds an extra layer of cheesy goodness that you won’t want to skip. Order your Panacheeza HERE and use my code JACKFRUITFUL for 10% off!
  • Fresh Chives: Nothing like fresh herbs to bring a recipe to life! Using fresh chives adds a mild onion-like flavor that pairs perfectly with the cheesy, savory elements. The chives also provide a pop of color, making the bites quite beautiful. Chives are also a good source of vitamins A and C, adding a nutritional boost to this keto-friendly snack.
  • Garlic Powder: Garlic powder is a key ingredient that enhances the savory flavor of the bagel bites. Its concentrated, robust taste ensures that every bite is packed with flavor. Garlic powder also has the advantage of being evenly distributed throughout the dough, giving a consistent taste with every bite. It’s an easy way to add depth and richness without the need for fresh garlic.
  • Greek Style Dairy Free Yogurt: Like my other bagel bites, I used yogurt to bind the ingredients together, giving the dough its perfect, tender texture. It adds a slight tanginess to the bagel bites, balancing the rich and savory flavors. Pro tip: If you’re using a yogurt with a higher water content, just remember to adjust the amount of flour to maintain the right dough consistency. 

What is Keto?

The ketogenic diet is a low carb, high fat diet that helps your body enter a state of ketosis. When your body is in ketosis it burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. These bagel bites are keto-friendly, meaning they are low in carbs and high in healthy fats, making them perfect for those on a keto diet. 

What Makes These Bagel Bites Keto Friendly?

These bagel bites are keto-friendly because they are made with almond flour instead of traditional wheat flour. Almond flour is low in carbs and high in healthy fats, making it a perfect choice for those following a keto diet. Additionally, the use of Greek style dairy-free yogurt adds protein and healthy fats which also aligns with the keto philosophy. 

How to Make Homemade Bagel Bites

Making these Keto Dairy Free Parmesan Bagel Bites is a quick and easy process. Follow these steps to create a delicious and satisfying snack that’s perfect for any time of the day.

Prepare the Dough

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and lining a large metal baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, almond flour, Panacheeza parmesan, finely chopped chives, garlic powder, and sea salt. Use a fork to mix everything together until the ingredients are well combined and the dough starts to come together. If the dough feels too wet or sticky, gradually add more almond flour until it reaches a firmer, doughy texture. Knead the dough with your hands or a rubber spatula for a few minutes to ensure it’s fully incorporated.

Shape the Bagel Bites

Once your dough is ready, it’s time to shape the bagel bites. Scoop out about 1.5 tablespoons of dough and roll it between your hands to form small balls. For an extra cheesy flavor, roll each dough ball in additional Panacheeza parmesan to coat them before placing them on the prepared baking sheet. This optional step adds a deliciously crunchy, cheesy crust to your bagel bites.

Bake Until Golden

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the bagel bites for about 25 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and firm to the touch. Once baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes. This cooling period helps the bagel bites firm up, ensuring they hold their shape and are easier to handle.

Enjoy your homemade Dairy Free Parmesan Bagel Bites fresh out of the oven, or store them in a paper bag on the counter for up to 5 days. If they start to soften, simply pop them back in the oven for a few minutes to restore their crispiness before serving.

Tips for the Best Dairy Free Parmesan Bagel Bites

  • Use Thick Yogurt: For the best results, use a thick yogurt like a dairy free Greek yogurt. If your yogurt is thinner, start with a smaller amount to avoid making the dough too wet.
  • Coat with Extra Cheese: Make these bagel bites extra obsessive with an additional roll in Panacheeza parmesan before baking!
  • Cool Before Eating: Allow the bagel bites to cool slightly before enjoying them to ensure they hold their shape.

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings: 25 bites
Course: Breakfast, Snack

Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ - 1 cup plain, unsweetened Greek-style dairy-free yogurt, see notes for details
  • 2½ cups super fine blanched almond flour
  • ½ cup Panacheeza parmesan, plus more for coating
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp sea salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 and line a large metal baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Add yogurt, 2 cups of flour, Panacheeza parmesan, chives, garlic powder and sea salt to a bowl and use a fork to mix until combined. Knead the dough with either your hands or a rubber spatula for a few minutes until it becomes a firmer, doughy texture. If it is wet at all to the touch, add more flour, up to half of a cup, and mix again.
  3. Scoop out 1.5 tbsp sized balls and roll between your hands. Drop into a bowl of Panacheeza parmesan and roll to coat. (this step is optional but recommended!)
  4. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, until lightly golden.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before enjoying. If you try them too soon, they will be pretty crumbly.
  6. Enjoy right away or store in a paper bag on the counter for up to 5 days. IMPORTANT: If they get a little soft/moist, place them in the oven for about 5 minutes at 300 before enjoying!

Notes

*I have had the best luck with Cocojune and Culina yogurt, as they are both very thick. If you use a yogurt that is thinner and has a higher water content, I would start with 3/4 cup yogurt.
*If you substitute almond flour for all purpose flour or oat flour, you will do a 1:1 ratio of yogurt to flour.
