This homemade onion flavored keto coconut flour bagels recipe is super easy to make. They are a great way to start your morning if you’ve gone low-carb and gluten-free!

Bagels have always been a favorite food of mine. I used to eat so many growing up that my mom would tell me that I was going to turn into a bagel. Spoiler alert: I am still human despite basically living off bagels.

In addition to loving bagels, I absolutely love onion. I throw onion into everything I make. So it’s no surprise that I love these keto onion bagels! The best part is, they’re gluten-free too! My boyfriend and I both love this recipe. He loves to serve them up with cream cheese, while I like to smother mine in Smart Balance.

How to Make Keto Onion Bagels

There’s only a few simple steps needed to make this easy quick bread recipe. After making the batter, it’s piped into donut molds and then baked until brown.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In small bowl, mix flax meal, coconut flour, baking powder, and onion.

Add To Eggs

Beat the egg whites with electric mixer until light and foamy. Slowly whisk in the yolks then add the dry mixture. Allow the batter to sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken.

Bake To Golden

Spoon into “donut” mold. Sprinkle additional dried onion on top of each bagel, if desired. Bake for 30 minutes until bagels become golden brown. Allow to cool in the oven.

Tips and Tricks

Omit the onion for other flavors. If you don’t like the taste of onion, leave it out. Garlic is a great alternative for bagels.
Sprinkle seeds on top before baking. A sprinkling of everything bagel seed mix adds flavor and texture. Or just sprinkle on some sesame or poppy seeds.
Change the size. Bake in a mini donut pan for bite-sized or double the batter for thicker large bagels.

Serving Suggestions
