Ingredients & Substitutions
Almond Flour: This is the star ingredient, giving the bagels their distinct flavor and texture. If you need a nut-free option, try using oat flour or a gluten-free all-purpose flour, but keep in mind it may change the texture a bit.
Greek Yogurt: Full-fat Greek yogurt makes these bagels rich and creamy. If you’re looking for a lighter option, non-fat Greek yogurt works well too, or substitute with a dairy-free yogurt for a vegan version.
Egg (for egg wash): This helps achieve a beautiful golden color. If you’re avoiding eggs, you can use a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water) as a substitute for the wash, but note it won’t provide the same sheen.
Everything Bagel Seasoning: This adds delicious crunch and flavor. Feel free to use just sesame seeds or poppy seeds if you don’t have the whole mix available. You can also make your own mix with garlic powder, onion powder, and salt!
How Do I Form Bagels Without Them Falling Apart?
Shaping the dough into bagels can be tricky! Here’s how to do it without the bagels falling apart:
- Make sure your dough is sticky but well combined. If it’s too wet, add a touch more almond flour.
- Flour your hands lightly while shaping. This avoids sticking, making it easier to roll the dough into balls.
- When creating the hole, pinch gently but firmly. This prevents tearing while ensuring the bagel maintains its shape.
- Let the bagels rest on the baking sheet for a few minutes before baking. This helps them hold their shape better in the oven.
These tips should help you create perfectly shaped bagels every time! Enjoy your baking!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 10 minutes of prep time and 20-25 minutes of baking time, for a total of around 30-35 minutes to make these delicious bagels. Quick and simple—perfect for a breakfast treat or snack!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare:
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s heating up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the bagels from sticking.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Give it a good stir until everything is mixed evenly.
3. Create the Dough:
Now it’s time to add the Greek yogurt! Pour it into the dry ingredients and mix everything together until you have a sticky dough. It might feel a little soft, but that’s just how it should be!
4. Shape the Bagels:
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. With floured hands (or you can use parchment paper), roll each piece into a ball. Then, create a hole in the center of each ball with your finger to form the classic bagel shape. Don’t worry if it looks a little messy; they’ll turn out great!
5. Bake the Bagels:
Place your shaped bagels onto the prepared baking sheet, giving them a bit of space apart. In a small bowl, beat your egg and brush it generously over the top of each bagel for a lovely golden finish. Next, sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning generously over the top.
6. The Final Bake:
Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the bagels are golden brown and firm to the touch. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
7. Cool and Enjoy:
Once they’re baked, remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. They can be enjoyed fresh, toasted, or even topped with your favorite spreads. Happy munching!

Can I Use Different Flours for This Recipe?
While almond flour is key to the recipe, you can try alternatives like coconut flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour. However, if using a different flour, you may need to adjust the liquid ingredients since they absorb moisture differently.
How Do I Store Leftover Bagels?
Leftover bagels can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, place them in the fridge or freeze them for up to 1 month. Just let them thaw completely before toasting or reheating.
Can I Add Other Seasonings or Toppings?
Absolutely! Feel free to customize your bagels with your favorite herbs or cheese. Just mix in any additional toppings, like grated cheese or dried herbs, into the dough, and use everything bagel seasoning on top for extra flavor!
What If My Dough Is Too Sticky?
If your dough feels too sticky to shape, add a little more almond flour until it reaches a manageable consistency. Just be cautious not to add too much, as it can change the texture of your bagels!
