My healthy bagels are a low carb breath of fresh air in a sea of unhealthy holiday treats and desserts.

Notes
Bagels and Locks or Bagels and Lox?
Not only are Mini Bagels with Cream Cheese one of my festive favorites, the boys dig ’em smothered in cream cheese and dripping with lox.
I don’t know why some folks call it bagels and locks, we’ve called it bagels and lox since I was a girl. Go figure!
After School Snack Bagels with Cream Cheese
Mini Bagels with Cream cheese were the perfect after-school snack for my growing guys.
I loved it when my older son and all his friends came home from school before baseball practice and gobbled these up!
Bagels Jewish Holidays
I’ve taken these lovely little bagels to my synagogue where they were devoured by numerous Jews, which I think is a great sign when it comes to bagels.
Bagels Types
This mini bagel recipe is based on the bagel recipe from my latest book, Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry, made into little bagels.
I’ve then smothered them with everything bagel mix (poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and onion flakes) and topped with cream cheese.
It was my boys who asked for an everything bagel –i.e., a bagel with all the toppings.
Bagels Nutrition Facts
Above is the nutrition information for my bagels recipe. Please note: 8 mini bagels equal 1 regular sized bagel.

Bagels Toppings: Organic Valley Cream Cheese
My family loves topping these bagels with Organic Valley Cream Cheese Spread.
Substitute of Cream Cheese Kite Hill
Because I do my best to follow a Dairy-Free Diet, I think Kite Hill Chive Cream Cheese is the perfect substitute for cream cheese, and it’s incredible on my bagels.

Hi Elena,
Happy New Year!
I’ve been quietly following you for years. We’re quite particular about bagels, are these chewy? Also, I don’t have a mini doughnut pan, will they just spread into a mess while baking?
Thank you
Elana says
Eva, they are not super chewy; also definitely won’t work on a baking sheet :-)

Not a comment about the recipe, but I was surprised you recommend these for Yom Kippur breakfast–until I realized that you probably meant Break Fast, since of course, You Kippur is a day of fasting!
