Paleo Bagels are the perfect low-carb snack. For brunch, they’re fantastic toasted, then topped with smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, along with tomato or cucumber. If you’re not on a Dairy-Free Diet, Paleo Bagels are wonderful with organic cultured cream cheese.
Low-Carb Paleo Bagels Recipe
When I went grain-free in 2001, I thought my love affair with bagels had come to an end. Now, these grain-free bagels from my third low-carb cookbook, Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry, come to the rescue! Paleo Bagels make a great on-the-go breakfast when you’re in a hurry.
Whole30 Bagels Recipe?
These would be Whole30 bagels if there was such a thing. All of the ingredients in the bagel are Whole30 compliant. However, that diet does not allow baked goods, so technically, these are not Whole30 bagels.
Kosher for Passover Bagels Recipe
I’ll be serving Paleo Bagels this year when we break our fast at Yom Kippur, along with Hot Apple Cider and my Paleo Carrot Soup. You can make the soup with water, rather than chicken stock so that it’s pareve. Paleo Bagels are kosher for Passover because they do not contain chametz.

How to Make Keto Bagels with a Donut Mold
When I created this easy Keto Bagel recipe in 2012 I used a non-stick donut mold. Back then it was the only mold available. Now there are plenty of silicone molds that work just as well or even better. If you use this silicone donut mold you will get 9 bagels because the wells are smaller.

Low-Carb Keto Bagels Recipe
Although I grew up in Northern California, Davis to be exact, I went to college in New York City. That was when I fell in love with bagels. There was an amazing bagel shop on the Upper West Side called University Bagels. Often, after I’d stay up all night studying, I’d get a piping hot bagel at the crack of dawn. Those were the days! Now I need eight hours of sleep a night, and I’m on a gluten-free, grain-free diet. This low-carb bagels recipe made with only 7 ingredients is the perfect treat for me now!
Low-Carb Keto Recipes
Lately, I’ve been eating a lot of savory food and following a Low-Carb Diet. These low-carb Paleo Bagels are a great treat for my low-sugar eating plan. I’ve found that the more I reduce my intake of added sweeteners and fruit, the better I feel. I’m also able to eat a small amount of fermented dairy as I’ve pursued a low-glycemic diet. What are your secrets when it comes to eating less sweets? Are you able to use sugar substitutes like xylitol? Or do you simply cut back on desserts and sweets?
Sandra Wrigley says
Intend making those bagels, the comments were excellent..but don’t have blanched almond flour only almond meal and you do state not to use it..have 3 bags of the almond meal in the pantry and want to use it up, will I waste my time making it with that in it. Is there anything I can do to the almond meal to make it like blanched almond flour. I hear Dr Google next.
Elana says
Sandra, for desired results follow the recipe, using the listed ingredients :-)

Been gluten free for 10 years now. Just made these bagels and they are amazing!!! So excited. This and your “corn” bread take gluten free living to the next level. Thanks for sharing and keep reminding us. I have your Paleo Cookbook but never made these until recently.
Elana says
B, thanks for letting me know these bagels are amazing!
Amanda says
I would love to know if anyone has tried this replacing the coconut. I am unfortunately allergic and it’s so hard to find great Paleo recipes that don’t have it. I was thinking I could try arrowroot, but since coconut absorbs more liquid I wasn’t sure how that would swap out.
Elana says
Amanda, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
HL says
Did you end up making a substitution or just leave it out? Asking since I also cannot have coconut products.
nancy says
Can I substitute hemp seed hearts for flax meal?
Elana says
Nancy, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
nancy says
I want to try these bagels today but do not have flax meal or flaxseed. Can I substitute chia seeds?
Elana says
Nancy, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
Holli says
Thank you!! We really love these bagels, addicting, easy, healthy, yum. Tastes like a bread to me since most of my family is into low carb food. God bless you.
p/s-I used brown flaxmeal since it’s what I had, turns out very well.
Elana says
Holli, you’re welcome! I’m so happy that you and yours really love these bagels :-)
