kcalThese soft and chewy keto bagels made with Greek yogurt are perfect for breakfast or a low-carb snack. No boiling needed!
Ingredients
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 oz cream cheese
1 cup almond flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
⅓ cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
1 egg (for egg wash)
Optional: sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the cheeses: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt mozzarella and cream cheese together in 30-second intervals until smooth and fully combined.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine almond flour and baking powder.
- Combine everything: Add the dry ingredients and Greek yogurt into the cheese mixture. Stir until a dough forms (you may need to use your hands).
- Shape into bagels: Divide the dough into 4-6 equal parts. Roll each into a rope and pinch the ends to form a bagel shape.
- Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with optional toppings.
- Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until golden brown.
Notes
- Freshly shredded mozzarella melts better.
- Wet hands help shape sticky dough easily.
- Let bagels cool before slicing for best texture.
Friendly Tips for Perfect Keto Bagels
This dough is pretty forgiving, but here are a few tricks to make it even easier:
- Use freshly shredded mozzarella: Pre-shredded can have added starches that affect the texture.
- Wet your hands: The dough can be sticky, so wetting your hands makes shaping easier.
- Don’t skip the egg wash: It gives the bagels that lovely golden crust.
- Cool before slicing: Let them rest for a few minutes to firm up inside.
Fun Variations to Try
Once you nail the base keto bagel recipe with Greek yogurt, you can play around with flavors:
- Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free mozzarella and yogurt alternatives like almond milk yogurt.
- Savory Herb Bagels: Add garlic powder, onion powder, or dried Italian herbs to the dough.
- Sweet Bagels: Add a touch of keto-friendly sweetener and cinnamon to the dough (skip the toppings).
- Cheddar Jalapeño: Swap mozzarella for cheddar and mix in chopped jalapeños.
How to Store These Bagels (If You Don’t Eat Them All at Once!)
Let’s be honest, these bagels are so good, they might not even make it to the storage container. But if you’re thinking ahead or doing a little meal prep, here’s how to keep them fresh and tasty.
These keto bagels hold up really well! You can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two, but they’ll stay freshest in the fridge for up to 5 days. Just pop one in the toaster when you’re ready to enjoy it, they toast up beautifully and get that perfect golden edge again.
Want to freeze them? Totally doable. Slice them first (so you can go straight from freezer to toaster), then store them in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Perfect for busy mornings when you want something quick, warm, and low-carb.

FAQs About Keto Bagel Recipe with Greek Yogurt
Can I freeze these keto bagels?
Yes! Slice them before freezing so you can pop them right into the toaster from frozen.
Why is my dough so sticky?
It’s totally normal. Just let the cheese cool slightly and use wet hands to shape the dough.
Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Not directly, coconut flour absorbs much more moisture. If you want to try it, use about ¼ cup coconut flour instead of 1 cup almond flour and adjust the texture.
