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.

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.
How to Store Low-Carb Keto Bagels
To store your bagels, leave them out at room temperature overnight, then refrigerate in an airtight container.
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?

Hi Elana,
I was just wondering about if you would ever try to make a gluten free Nann. My boyfriend is an indian he and I have been trying to stay away from wheat and we have been looking for a gluten free Nann. It is kind of like pita bread only made with oil instead. They are so yummy but I just don’t know what or how too even make one can you help me please?
Elana says
Joy, I will add that to my list of requests :-)
Lisa says
I filled my doughnut pan to the top and still had extra batter for 3 good size muffins. I did not pipe the batter in this time. I made the first batch the way you instructed but wasted a lot of batter in bag. Is it that muh of a difference? Now the calorie and nutrient difference. Ahh good problem to have!
Elana says
Lisa, I haven’t made these without piping them. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the bagels!
Isabel says
Do you have the calorie information for your recipes?

Gem says
Has anyone tried freezing these? Back in my grain eating days we always kept our bagels in the freezer and I’m wondering if these would hold up.
Chaya says
yes it works perfectly!
Carly says
What is a good substitute for flax. I can have estrogenic foods.
Elana says
Carly, I haven’t tried making these without the flax so not sure, if you do experiment please let us know how it goes :-)
Karen says
Where do I get a donut pan? Does it bake more than 1 at a time? Can’t wait to try these!!!
Elana says
Karen, if you click the green text in the instructions portion of the recipe that says “donut pan” you will be given that info :-)
Beth.H says
Thanks for the recipe! I made these with liquid egg whites and a whole egg. The batter was too thin so my bagle is a bun… Which is ok with me. Next time I’ll use large eggs only to see if I get a different result. It is soooo nice to have a bun for my burger and I even had a breakfast sandwich… :) Best wishes for continued good health.
Elana says
Thanks Beth!

What is the purpose of the ¼ cup golden flaxmeal? Can anything be substituted for this to make this SCD legal?
Elana says
The flax combined with the other flours gives this a nice chewy texture when the bagels are toasted :-)
Ruth says
Just made them, first time. They came out more like a soft bread than like a NY Bagel (which is boiled for chewiness). Did I not cook them long enough? Or is this the texture they are supposed to be. THANK YOU. Delicious.
Elana says
Ruth, glad these were delicious! If you toast them they’ll get a nice chewy texture :-)
Marjorie Wax says
Do you think you could cook these in a donut maker?
Elana says
Marjorie, I haven’t tried that so not sure, if you do experiment please let us know how it goes :-)
