Keto Cinnamon Bagel Bites
Jump to...
Introduction
Sixteen small rounds of fat head dough with a cinnamon-sugar crust baked onto them. Ten minutes at 400°F and that is the whole bake.
They work as breakfast as easily as they work as something sweet after dinner, and they are small enough to eat with one hand on the way out of the house. If you liked our Keto Cinnamon Pretzels, these are the same idea in a smaller shape.
Fat Head Dough Base
If you have not met fat head dough before: you melt mozzarella and cream cheese together in the microwave, then knead that into the dry ingredients. Here the dry side is a cup of almond flour and three tablespoons of coconut flour, with baking powder and powdered sweetener, and an egg and a teaspoon of vanilla go in at the end.
It is the workhorse of keto baking, and the same dough turns up as pizza base, as bread and as pretzels. What it gives you that most low-carb mixtures do not is something that behaves like dough — you can knead it, chill it and roll it into balls, rather than pouring it. The cinnamon and the sweetener here sit on the outside of it rather than running through it.
How To Make Keto Cinnamon Bagel Bites
The recipe card below has every step, with photos of the dough and the coating as you go. A couple of things are worth knowing before you start.
Once the egg and vanilla are in, the dough should be firm yet pliable. It then spends 30 minutes in the fridge before you shape it into 16 balls, which is why fifty minutes start to finish is mostly waiting.
The coating goes on in two layers: melted butter brushed over each ball, then a roll through the cinnamon and granulated sweetener. The butter is what the cinnamon sugar clings to, so give every ball a proper coat of it rather than a quick dab.
Keto Frosting For Cinnamon Bagel Bites
These are sweet enough as they come out of the oven, but a cream cheese dip moves them squarely into dessert. It is the same dip we have used on a good many recipes — our Keto Cheesecake Dip with Chocolate Covered Strawberries and our Best Keto Low Carb Carrot Cake among them.
Whip together 4 ounces of cream cheese, half a cup of Lakanto powdered monk fruit, 2 tablespoons of heavy cream and a teaspoon of vanilla, and adjust the sweetener to taste.
We use Lakanto’s monk fruit in both places, but not the same one: the classic granulated sweetener goes in the cinnamon coating, and the powdered one goes in the dip.
Tools And Ingredients We Use
- Baking sheet — greased well, since the coated bites go straight onto it.
- Ice cream scoop — portions the chilled dough into sixteen even balls, so they bake at the same rate.
- Lakanto Classic monk fruit sweetener — the granulated sweetener in the cinnamon coating.
