Jalapeno Low Carb Bagels

These low carb bagels are flavoured with spicy jalapeno and topped with cheese.  Baked with a Fathead Dough it is a cheesy, low carb delight with a hint of spice.

I’ve been enjoying playing around with the Fathead dough recipe and when I tried the bagel recipe from the talented Maya at Wholesome Yum, I became a bagel addict.   They were so delicious that I ate them every day for a week and wondered if it was possible to live off them?

So, inspired by this new addiction, I thought that I would add a flavour combination that I find delicious.  Jalapeno and cheese.  There’s one supermarket in St Lucia that sells jalapeno pepper and I stock up like they are on sale when I see them.  Island shopping is like that.  You cannot always be guaranteed that what you see will still be there next week.  Items that you take for granted in the USA or Europe, such as zucchinis, are not a regular item.  So, when you see them, regardless of any recipe planning, you buy them.  You buy them all!!

I made four batches under the guise of “I’m not sure, maybe the next batch will be better” as I loved these delicious low carb bagels.   The oven we have is the strangest we have ever had.  It’s a gas oven with a bizarre temperature on it so some of my baking time is now guess work.  I know what temperature works for most recipes but sometimes my oven works as it should, sometimes it decides that the baking with take longer.  Good times.  The first batch was made once again, without writing down the recipe.  Or if I did, I threw the paper out.  Eventually I was happiest with the last batch and could hit “publish”.

When making these low carb bagels, you need to move like a mixing ninja in the kitchen.  Make sure that you have the almond flour mixture prepared and ready to go.  All the trimmings should be on standby as you are going to have to mix fast and furious once that mozzarella has melted!

KETO JALAPENO BAGEL TIPS

I used a donut tray to bake these to keep their shape and volume.  I’ve found that when I bake Fathead bagels they can deflate a bit, making it hard to slice.  

Another kitchen ninja tip is throw those empty bowls into soak as soon as you can.  Dried Mozzarella on the bowls is not the easiest of things to get off. 

I used sliced jalapeno peppers from a jar for one batch.  I loved that batch of low carb bagels experiment, but it may have been the extra salty taste of the jalapenos that I enjoyed.  I suspect that I would be a person who would enjoy pickle juice from the jar.

These jalapeno low carb bagels keep well in the fridge for the next day.  They will harden slightly because of the cheese but pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to refresh them.  Or slice and toast them!  Either way, it’s a delicious breakfast!
