I thought y’all might enjoy some Paleo Mini Bagels for the holidays. Yes, I know this is not exactly a traditional holiday treat. However, as of late I’ve been going lower and lower in my carb consumption. I am truly digging the results I’m getting from ditching fruit and dessert and sticking to fat, protein, and vegetables. A low-carb diet seems to agree with my constitution!
So, what’s a low-carb-a-holic to do during the season of desserts? That’s where my gluten-free mini bagels come into play. Not only are they one of my festive favorites, the boys really dig ’em smothered in cream cheese and lox. I think they’re the perfect after school snack for my growing guys. I’ve also 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.
Please note, to make this recipe you will either need 3 mini donut pans, or you will need to bake the bagels in 3 separate batches.
This mini bagel recipe is basically the bagel recipe from my latest book, Paleo Cooking from Elana’s Pantry made into little bagels and smothered in the delightful toppings of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and onion flakes, it was my boys who asked for an everything bagel –i.e., a bagel with a couple of toppings. I use a mini donut pan to make these and I pipe them into that pan with a pastry bag.
This high protein Paleo Everything Mini Bagels recipe is made with almond flour, coconut flour, and golden flax meal, and contains eggs as well. I haven’t tried testing it with other ingredients –if you do, as always, please leave a comment with the changes you made to the recipe and also advise us as to how it turned out.
I hope y’all enjoy the bagels!

I have tried these twice and they stick badly in the bagel pan. I use coconut oil. Is that the problem?
Sharon, I’ve updated the recipe to include greasing and flouring the bagel pan, so sorry for this omission!!!
Will the bake time be the same if I use a regular size donut pan?
Kate, I think this may be what you’re looking for:

Enjoy!

What can I use instead of coconut flour? I can’t handle even the slightest hint of coconut flavor in my food.
Roxanne, I haven’t tried that so not sure :-)
I didn’t taste the coconut to be honestly… and I added some garlic powder to the batter so that may have helped
Thanks Andrea! I don’t taste any coconut whatsoever either, but everyone is different :-)
I’m allergic to coconut, so I simply added extra almond flour. I think it turned out pretty good. Not as chewy as a traditional bagel, but very tasty.
Thanks Emily!
