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?
marinell says
can a flax seed egg be subbed?
Elana says
Marinell, thanks for your comment. I haven’t ever had that work in any of my baked goods recipes :-)
Sydney says
This recipe looks amazing! I was wondering if the coconut flour could be substituted with more almond flour or something else? My sister is allergic to coconut and I am gluten-free, and found this recipe while looking for good Passover recipes. I can’t wait to try it out! Thank you!
Elana says
Sydney, thanks for your comment! I haven’t tried that so not sure, if you do experiment I hope you’ll let me know if it works :-)
Elana (also!) says
Don’t have a donut mold, no worries, make pita! I followed the recipe exactly, then lined 2 baking trays with baking paper, sprinkled lots of sesame seeds and poppy seeds into 10 “piles” then poured a large mixing spoon of the batter onto each “pile” of seeds. The batter flatted into pancake- like discs, but held their shape. I topped with more seeds and baked and got — delicious pitas! They almost doubled in size, so make sure you leave lots of space. Didn’t stick to the pan at all, and you can easily slice thru the “pita” to make a sandwich.
Elana says
Hi Elana also! This sounds amazing! I hope you are staying safe :-)
Jenn says
ooh bagels how wonderful they are! i can’t wait to try these. i looked in your shop and there aren’t bagel pans. What would you recommend? and what about the teflan coating?
thanks
Elana says
Jenn, thanks for your comment! If you click the highlighted link in the instructions portion of the recipe that says “donut mold” you will be taken to the exact pan I use in this recipe :-)
Inga says
Ouuu just made these today! Saw them on your Instagram account and decided to give them a go. Granted, they do not look like bagles (ouff) but a version of a decompressed savory scone! :) nonetheless delicious! THANK YOU for the constant healthy recipes!
Elana says
Inga, thanks so much for your comment! I haven’t ever had that happen, but I’m using the donut mold in the instructions portion of the recipe, which works perfectly. I’m so happy to hear you are enjoying my healthy recipes :-)
Carlene says
YES YES YES!!!!
This is going on the shopping list!
I have missed bagels!
Thank you for this awesome recipe
Elana says
Thanks Carlene! I hope you love these as much as we do :-)
JB says
You are incredible and so are your recipes! Excited to make this tonight, I don’t have flax seeds but do have chia. Is this an acceptable substitution?
Elana says
JB, I haven’t tried that so not sure. If you decide to change up the recipe and experiment, I hope you’ll let me know if it works :-)
Cindy says
Could I pipe the batter onto a lined cookie sheet and bake or would the batter spread ot to much?
Thank you
Cindy
Elana says
Cindy, I haven’t tried that but would guess it’s unlikely to work :-)
Julez Buell says
Thank you for sharing! My daughter loves bagels and is affected by many grains. It’s impossible to find an organic, gluten free option. I don’t want the glyphosate either! Why is it so hard? We can’t wait to try these. Time to find a donut mold.
For our low sweet journey we use monk fruit drops! They have no aftertaste unlike stevia that can be bitter for so many people. All the other alternative sweeteners leave me with a funky taste. Lankanto drops are the best!!!
Elana says
Julez, thanks so much for your comment! I wish I could eat Lakanto, but can’t since I’m very allergic to corn which is its main ingredient.
Denise says
Delicious!!! I am from NJ – 20 minutes from NYC (where many claim our crunchy delicious bagels is all in the water). My 12 year old son has been taken off all grains for last 2 months and I’ve been cooking through your Elana’s Pantry cookbook which I purchased 3 years ago and through your website! I need to provide more feedback as we have enjoyed everything! I followed your recipe to a T which is different for me since I learned to cook from an Italian grandmother who didn’t own a measuring spoon or cup. I follow every recipe you create with exact measurements as I know how much love you pour into these recipes you share (I also read your blog last few years). Thank you for making this transition for all of us tasty, but especially for one little boy! Your amazing….and I appreciate your sharing.
Elana says
Denise, thanks for your super wonderful comment and so glad you and yours are enjoying these bagels. These recipes have made a difference for two little boys –I started writing them a couple of decades ago when my son was 3 years old and diagnosed with Celiac Disease. I’m so glad we’re all on this healing path together :-)
