How To Cook Air Fryer KETO Bagels
In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the shredded cheese and butter, microwave until melted. Then add in the almond flour, baking powder, white vinegar, egg, and mix well.
Separate your dough into six pieces. Then use your hands to shape into a bagel shape. Either make a long roll, attach the two sides, make a ball, and use your finger to make a hole in the center.
Spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray, and then as you make your bagels, place them into the basket. Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the bagels with melted butter. Set the temperature to 350 degrees F, air fryer setting for 5 minutes, then flip the bagels, brush again with the melted butter, and air fry for another 5 to 7 minutes.
FAQ’s:
Do You Use Coconut or Almond Flour for this Recipe?
While you can easily switch out the almond flour for coconut flour, you will find that it gets too dry when you make them. Therefore I would suggest that you stick with almond flour, which provides excellent moisture to the bagel and produces a tremendous air-fried bagel.
What is Fathead Dough?
If you have been on KETO, you know exactly what Fathead dough is, and this recipe adjusts it perfectly to come up with an excellent bagel alternative that’s low carb and KETO Friendly.
Fathead Dough is a very common low carb and gluten-free dough, typically made with shredded mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, egg, and a low-carb flour, either coconut or almond flour. Today, we removed the cream cheese to make a flavorful bagel.
How Long Can You Store The Bagels?
These bagels can last for several days. I usually make a batch on Sunday and then eat them for a few days. You can either keep them on the counter at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator. Add them to a Ziploc or airtight container, to help preserve the moisture.
I do find that if I put them into the refrigerator, they turn hard, probably because the cheese and butter solidify. If you are not eating them the right way, I would suggest that place them in the freezer. They will last for about a month.
Pro Tips:
- Make sure that you mix after microwaving. I usually microwave in 30-second intervals and then mix, so the entire mixture is perfectly melted.
- If you are allergic to eggs, switch them out for duck eggs.
- Make sure that they are spread out in the air fryer basket. Otherwise, they will not cook (air fry) correctly.
- Add your favorite toppings, Everything Bagel Seasoning, Sesame Seeds, etc.
