1/2 teaspoon sea salt: Enhances the flavors of the other ingredients.
1 teaspoon baking powder: Gives the bagels a slight lift for that perfect bite.
1/3 cup coconut flour: A low-carb flour that adds texture. Almond flour can also be used if you prefer.

How to Make Low Carb Keto Cheddar Sausage Stuffed Bagels

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F to prepare for baking.
Blend the Wet Ingredients: In a stand mixer, combine 12 eggs and 1/3 cup sour cream until well blended.
Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup ground flaxseed, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/3 cup coconut flour, and 1 cup whey protein powder.
Combine Mixtures: Slowly pour the dry mixture into the wet ingredients in the mixer, mixing until just combined.
Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese with 1 teaspoon Italian seasonings and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
Mix in Cheese: Fold half of the cheese mixture into your batter in the stand mixer until well combined.
Grease Donut Pans: Generously grease 2 donut pans with olive oil cooking spray to ensure easy release of the bagels.
Fill Pans: Pour the batter evenly into each donut cavity, filling them about three-quarters full.
Add Sausage: Spoon half of the cooked sausage crumbles evenly into each batter-filled cavity.
Top with Remaining Sausage: Sprinkle the rest of the cooked sausage crumbles over the top of each bagel.
Bake: Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden.
Add More Cheese: Remove from the oven and add the remaining shredded cheese over each bagel.
Final Bake: Return to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, letting the cheese melt and get bubbly.
Cool Slightly: Let them cool for a few minutes, then use a knife to gently loosen the bagels around the edges and center.
Enjoy Fresh: These bagels are best served warm, but you can refrigerate them and reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds to a minute when you’re ready for another bite!

Storing & Reheating

Store any leftover bagels at room temperature for up to two days in an airtight container. For longer storage, refrigerate them in an airtight container for up to one week or freeze them for up to three months. When reheating, simply pop them in the microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until warmed through. Keep in mind that while they will still taste great, their texture may be less chewy after freezing, but a quick reheat will refresh their taste.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before mixing for better incorporation.
Avoid overmixing the batter, which can lead to a denser texture.
If your batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon of water to loosen it up slightly.
Sausage can be spicy or sweet; choose your favorite to cater to your taste preferences.
Feel free to add chopped veggies like bell peppers or spinach to the batter for extra nutrition and flavor.
These bagels are perfect for meal prep; a batch can last you the week.

Whether you enjoy them fresh out of the oven or as a quick snack throughout your week, you’ll find endless enjoyment in each bite.
