Can you omit the xanthan gum?

We don’t recommend omitting the xanthan gum because it is the only binding agent in this recipe since it is egg-free. If you are interested in Keto baking, we recommend keeping a small amount of xanthan gum in your kitchen. However, you can replace 1 tsp of xanthan gum with 1 tbsp of psyllium husk powder for this recipe.

What can you replace the whey protein with?

Whey protein can be convenient in Keto baking because it adds stability, volume, and an extra dose of protein. You can swap it for almond flour, soy-milk powder, or whole milk powder. However, keep in mind that the texture, macros, and net carb count will be affected.

Can you make this recipe using a different kind of cheese?

You can replace the parmesan cheese with cheddar cheese, asiago, or grated Swiss cheese. Make sure the cheese you use is slightly melty. Avoid crumbly and creamy cheese types like feta, blue cheese, cottage cheese, etc.

How can you store these Keto bagels?

Once baked, you should let them cool completely. Then, you can place them in an airtight container, where they will stay fresh for 1-2 days on your counter or up to a week in your fridge. When you’re ready to eat one, microwave for 10 seconds to get the cheese melty again.

Almond flour

1.13 cup
Protein Powder 100% Whey Protein Isolate

2 scoop
Baking Aids Xanthan Gum

1 tsp
Baking powder

2 tsp
Salt

0.5 tsp
Parmesan cheese, fresh (hard)

0.75 cup, grated
Melted Butter

0.25 cup
Water

0.33 cup

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 190 C/ 375 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. To a bowl, add the almond flour, whey protein, ½ cup parmesan cheese, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
Step 2

Add the melted butter and whisk until the mixture is crumbly. Pour in the water and mix until a thick dough forms. The dough will look rough and wet.
Step 3

Divide the dough into 7 equal balls using a cookie scooper. Place them on the baking sheet. Poke a hole in the middle of each one and stretch the dough to make them look like bagels.
Step 4

Top with the remaining parmesan cheese. Transfer the bagels to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the cheese is golden on top. Take the bagels out of the oven and let them cool completely.
Step 5

Eat them warm or store them in an airtight container for later. You can fill them with cream cheese, lox, and chives, or any other filling. Serve immediately.
