2 Ingredient Bagels with Almond Flour
If you're looking for a gluten free or low carb option for bagels, you can try making my 2 ingredient bagels with almond flour instead.
These bagels are a great alternative for those on a special diet or looking to lower their carb intake. Plus, you can customize them by adding seasonings or toppings of your choice.
- Finely ground almond flour seamlessly blends into sweet and savory baked goods. Blanched almond flour & super finely ground for excellent baking performance
How to make bagels crispier?
- Adjust the boiling time: Boiling the bagels for a longer duration can result in a chewier and crispier crust. Some sources suggest boiling for around 90 seconds on each side. This helps to set the crust before baking.
- Use malt syrup or honey in the water bath: Adding malt syrup or honey to the boiling water can enhance the flavor and contribute to a crispy crust. Try using about 3 tablespoons of honey or malt syrup for a pot of boiling water.
- Use an egg wash: With this air fryer recipe, you can forego the water bath all together and brush the dough with an egg wash for a crispy browned bagel.
- Bake at a high temperature: A higher baking temperature can promote a crispier crust.

Storage, Freezing and Reheating Tips
Refrigerator: Allow the bagels to cool completely before storing to prevent them from becoming soggy from condensation. Place the bagels in an airtight container or a zip top bag.
They can be stored at room temperature for a couple of days, but if you want to keep them fresh for a longer period, refrigerate the bagels for up to 5 days.
Freezer: Wrap the bagels in plastic wrap or aluminum foil tightly before putting them in a freezer safe zip top bag. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best texture and flavor. Non-fat may make the dough too sticky.
- Flour your surface and hands lightly to prevent sticking while shaping the bagels.
- Add toppings! Brush bagels with a little egg wash and sprinkle with everything seasoning, sesame seeds, or cinnamon sugar before air frying.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer. Cook in batches if needed to ensure even air circulation and browning.
- Let them cool for a few minutes before slicing—they’ll firm up as they rest.
