These incredibly simple keto bagels require just two ingredients and 15 minutes to create perfectly chewy, low-carb bagels that taste just like the bakery version.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup self-rising flour

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat)

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix the magic – In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. It’ll look messy at first, but trust the process!
  • Get your hands dirty – Once it’s roughly combined, use your hands to knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes until it forms a smooth ball. If it’s too sticky, add a tiny bit more flour.
  • Shape those beauties – Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope, then connect the ends to form bagel shapes. Don’t worry about making them perfect – rustic bagels have character!
  • Bake to golden perfection – Place on your prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until they’re golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
  • Cool and enjoy – Let them cool for just a few minutes, then slice and serve however you like!

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for best texture and flavor
  • Dough should be slightly sticky – don’t add too much extra flour
  • Store in airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for 3 months

My Best Tips for Perfect 2 Ingredient Keto Bagels Recipe

I’ve made these easy keto bagels probably a hundred times now, and I’ve learned a few tricks that make all the difference. Here are my top secrets for bakery-quality results every single time.

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt – The fat content helps create that perfect chewy texture we’re after
  • Don’t skip the kneading – Those 2-3 minutes of hand mixing are crucial for developing the right consistency
  • Keep dough slightly sticky – If you add too much flour, your bagels will be dense instead of fluffy
  • Make them uniform – Try to keep your bagel shapes similar in size so they bake evenly
  • Check for doneness – They should sound hollow when you tap the bottom, just like regular bread
  • Toast for extra flavor – Even fresh bagels taste amazing when lightly toasted with butter

Fun Ways to Switch Things Up

Once you master the basic recipe, the sky’s the limit! I love experimenting with different flavors and tweaks to keep breakfast interesting.

  • Everything seasoning – Brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning before baking
  • Cinnamon sweetness – Add 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 tbsp powdered erythritol to the dough for sweet breakfast bagels
  • Dairy-free version – Swap Greek yogurt for thick coconut yogurt (make sure it’s unsweetened)
  • Garlic herb – Mix in 1 tsp garlic powder and 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
  • Sesame or poppy seed – Brush with egg wash and sprinkle seeds on top before baking
  • Mini bagels – Divide dough into 8 pieces for bite-sized bagel bites (reduce baking time to 8-10 minutes)

FAQs About the 2 Ingredient Keto Bagels Recipe

Can I make these ahead of time?

Absolutely! These homemade keto bagels stay fresh for 2-3 days at room temperature in an airtight container. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months – just thaw and toast when you’re ready to eat.

What if I don’t have self-rising flour?

No problem! Make your own by mixing 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1½ teaspoons baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt. For a true keto version, use 1 cup almond flour with the same baking powder and salt measurements.

Why are my bagels dense?

This usually happens when the dough is over-mixed with too much flour added. The dough should be slightly sticky – resist the urge to add more flour than necessary. Also, make sure your Greek yogurt is at room temperature for easier mixing.
