Low Carb Bagel Bites

These mini marvels have quickly become a viral sensation and for good reason! I’ve transformed a beloved classic bagel into a keto-friendly snack with just two main ingredients. Not only are these little bagel bites easy and fun to make, but they are also totally delicious! Whether you’re in search of a quick breakfast, a satisfying snack, or a versatile party appetizer, these bites provide a healthful solution without skimping on flavor.

Get into this snack hack; where vegan yogurt and almond flour come together to create the yummiest bite-sized treats. The preparation process is straightforward, the ingredients are incredibly easy to come by and you only need 25 minutes. These bagel bites emerge crispy on the outside and delightfully chewy on the inside, ready to be topped with anything your heart desires. I chose to cover these with an optional everything bagel seasoning and it was a good decision because they are totally my new favorite snack.

Ingredients in Keto Bagel Bites

  • Almond Flour: The foundation of our Keto Bagel Bites is superfine blanched almond flour. It provides a low-carb, grain-free and gluten-free base that is high in protein and healthy fats. This makes these bites ideal for a plant-based and ketogenic diet. The fine consistency of almond flour ensures that your bagel bites have the perfect, chewy consistency while keeping them grain-free. It’s important to use store-bought, super fine, blanched almond flour for this recipe! 
  • Unsweetened Dairy-Free Yogurt: This ingredient adds moisture and binds the almond flour without adding any unnecessary sugars or dairy products. Opt for a thicker, high-quality yogurt like Coco June, Culina or Harmless Harvest to give the bagel bites a rich texture and subtle tanginess. You may need to add additional flour if you choose a yogurt with a higher moisture content.
  • Everything Bagel Seasoning: Optional but highly recommended for that authentic everything bagel flavor. This seasoning blend typically contains sesame seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, black sesame seeds, and sea salt, offering a savory touch that complements the subtle sweetness of the almond flour.

How to Make Keto Bagel Bites

This keto bagel recipe is so easy to make that you will have this recipe on repeat! Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure nothing sticks. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and dairy-free yogurt and use a fork to mix until they’re fully incorporated. Knead by hand or with a rubber spatula to achieve a firm, doughy texture that isn’t sticky, adding more flour if needed to get the consistency just right. 

Next, shape the dough into small 1.5 tbsp sized balls. At this point, there should not be any residue stuck to your hands while rolling. If there is, that means your dough is too wet and you need to add a little bit more flour. Once the texture is right and they’re rolled into balls, roll each one in everything bagel seasoning for an extra burst of flavor.

Optional to spray lightly with avocado oil before baking. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until they turn golden and crispy on the exterior. Once done, let the crispy bagel bites cool completely on a wire rack to help them hold their shape and enhance their texture. I know that everyone loves a warm bagel but if you let these cool I assure you they will be worthwhile. Moving them too soon can result in them crumbling.

What is Keto?

Keto, short for the ketogenic diet, is all about flipping the traditional food pyramid upside down! It’s a high-fat, moderate-protein, and super low-carb eating plan designed to push your body into a state called ketosis. In ketosis, your body shifts from burning carbs for fuel to burning fats, making it an efficient fat-burning machine. While many people use this diet for weight loss, but that is not the only intention of this diet and it’s important to keep this in mind. This diet isn’t just about weight loss; it’s for boosting energy levels, sharpening mental clarity, and reducing cravings. Whether you’re trying to trim down, maintain a healthy lifestyle, or simply curious to experiment with new dietary habits, keto offers a fascinating approach to exploring how our bodies use different nutrients for energy! As always consult with a professional if you are considering trying a keto diet.

How to Serve These Keto Bagel Bites

Bagel Bites are incredibly versatile, making them perfect for a variety of toppings and serving styles. For a classic breakfast or brunch, top them with vegan cream cheese, or jam. My personal preference is a spread of vegan cream cheese, a slice of avocado, and pickled onions. If you’re in the mood to make them more of a lunch or dinner you could top them with vegan shredded mozzarella cheese and marinara making them like those pizza bagel bites that I’m sure many of us loved as children.

Craving something sweet? I’ve got a delicious recipe for making them with jam that you’re going to love, click here. You could also try almond butter with a drizzle of keto-friendly chocolate syrup and a pinch of sea salt.

For appetizers, you can top them with a dollop of pesto and sun-dried tomatoes or a small slice of vegan brie. The options are endless and every variation is delicious so go wild with your creative side!

Reasons to Love These Bagel Bites

This Keto Bagel Bites recipe is more than just delicious; they’re an excellent fit for various dietary needs including those who subscribe to a gluten-free, dairy-free, low-carb, or vegan diet.

Keto Bagel Bites: FAQs

  • Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour? If you would like to substitute the almond flour for all-purpose flour, gluten free 1:1 flour, or oat flour, you can do that by adjusting the amount of flour to 1 cup, so it is a 1:1 ratio of yogurt to flour. I have not tried this recipe with coconut flour.
  • Are these bagel bites freezer-friendly? Absolutely! Freeze them after baking and cool them completely. Reheat in the oven to restore their crispy texture.
  • How do I reheat these bagel bites? You may find that after 24-48 hours, your bagel bites become a bit moist or soft. Don’t worry! Simply pop them in the oven for 5 minutes at 350 to reheat. They will crisp right up!
  • Can I use dairy-based greek yogurt? Yes! Traditional dairy yogurt will work great for this recipe. Some readers have even shared they mixed in shredded cheese or parmesan.
  • What other seasonings can be used? If you’re not a fan of everything bagel seasoning, or just want to switch it up, you could try poppy seeds, cinnamon sugar, sesame seeds, or granola!
  • Can you make these in an air fryer? Yes! Air frying these bagel bites is a great idea, and they come out perfectly! Just reduce the bake time to 12-15 minutes.
  • What is the best type of cream cheese to use? These are delicious with a dairy free cream cheese! I have found Kite Hill and Spero have the best taste and texture for dairy free vegan cream cheese options. These everything bagel bites would be delicious with plain cream cheese, garden veggie cream cheese, or red pepper cream cheese.

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings: 20 bagel bites
Course: Breakfast, Healthy Snack

Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups superfine blanched almond flour*
  • 1 cup plain, unsweetened dairy-free yogurt*
  • 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning, or seasoning of choice (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 and line a large metal baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Add almond flour and yogurt to a mixing bowl. Stir with a fork to combine and then use a rubber spatula or your hands to knead for a minute or two until firm, doughy, and not sticky. If your dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour or knead longer.
  3. Roll into balls and roll in the everything bagel seasoning. Bake for 20-22 minutes. *IMPORTANT: Let cool completely!! Otherwise they will be a bit crumbly.
  4. 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

*You want to use a thicker yogurt for this recipe! My favorites are Coco June, Culina, and Harmless Harvest! If your yogurt is thinner, you will need to add more flour.
*It’s important to use store-bought, super fine, blanched almond flour for this recipe!
*If you would like to substitute the almond flour for all purpose flour, gluten free 1:1 flour, or oat flour, you can do that by adjusting the amount of flour to 1 cup, so it is a 1:1 ratio of yogurt to flour.

*Macros are provided as an estimate for convenience. Your final numbers will vary depending on ingredient brands, substitutions, and how you portion the recipe.

    1. Hi Quinn, I have not tested this recipe with almond flour as I find it to be a little bit more brittle, you may need to play with the ratios if you give it a try. let me know how it goes

    I was not a believer because I rarely trust 2 ingredient recipes but this is no joke the best 2 ingredient snack I’ve ever baked. I used Fage 2% Greek yogurt and did roll it in a lot less everything bagel seasoning than she did in the pictures. It was so perfectly flavorful and moist, like a biscuit. My partner and I had to stop ourselves from eating them all in one sitting

    I made this 4x now and the inside is always a little wet like it is not cooked through. I wonder where I went wrong.

    1. Hi Pi, Yogurt types can vary in moisture content – a thick sturdy yogurt is best for these bagel bites. I would recommend trying a thicker yogurt like Cocojune or Culina, or adding more almond flour to your mixture.

    2. Hi Pi, Thank you for sharing your experience, I am sorry to hear your bites are not turning out as anticipated. If your batter is too wet you can always adjust the amount of flour you’re using to make it a bit more tacky. If you find that you break one open and its not cooked enough, give them a few more minutes in the oven!

  7. I ran short of almond meal so I topped off my 1/2 batch with 1-2 tbsp of oat fiber and vital wheat gluten. Threw in a tbsp of nutritional yeast and 1/2 tsp baking powder “just because”. Shaped some baglish by poking a finger down the middle of the balls. Waiting for them to come out of the oven now. They smell great!

    As a type 2 diabetic, I’m always looking to make food that tastes delicious AND won’t give me a sugar spike. These everything bagel bites fit both These criteria! Tried it today and will definitely make it again! 🥰

  11. I want to like them more than I do. No one else in my family does but have been trying to curb carb consumption. The taste is off, maybe it’s because I’m using Greek yogurt. And the texture is mealy inside.

    Reply

    1. Hi there, the greek yogurt would definitely create a tangier taste. I would try using a more neutral option like a coconut yogurt next time you prepare them. If you are not a fan of the texture of almond flour (it is definitely mealier than traditional flour) these bites can also be made in a 1:1 ratio of all purpose flour, gluten free flour, or oat flour for a more traditional texture. I hope you’ll try them again and have a more positive experience! Thanks for your feedback.

  21. Do you have the nutritional value for each serving? How many calories in one bagel bite?!?

    1. Hey Melissa, Thanks for your question, at this moment I do not have the macros on this recipe however you can easily find out what they are if you input the recipe ingredients into an app like myfitnesspal! I will have something coming out soon that will answer this question for you 🙂 Thanks!

    2. I needed to add more flour so I used 2 1/2 cups with one cup of yogurt and it only made 19 instead of 20 bites each bite for me equal a little under 90 cal each. I was surprised after figuring out the nutritional value they were a little bit high for my liking.
