Why Choose Almond Flour?
Almond flour is a fantastic alternative to traditional wheat flour, especially for those following a gluten-free or low carb diet. It’s made from finely ground almonds and is rich in healthy fats, fiber, and protein. These nutritional benefits make almond flour an excellent choice for a variety of recipes, including our bagels.
Additionally, almond flour provides a subtle nutty flavor and a moist texture that complements the tanginess of Greek yogurt perfectly. For more almond flour inspiration, check out this delightful Almond Flour Apple Cake.
Benefits of Greek Yogurt in Bagels
Greek yogurt is a powerhouse ingredient, offering creaminess and a boost of protein. It’s also packed with probiotics, which are beneficial for gut health. In our bagel recipe, Greek yogurt works as a natural leavening agent, helping the dough rise while keeping it soft and chewy.
The tangy flavor of Greek yogurt adds depth and richness, making these bagels not only nutritious but also incredibly tasty. For another Greek yogurt treat, you might enjoy this Greek Yogurt Cake.

Step-by-Step Preparation
Making these bagels is straightforward and requires no special skills. Follow these steps for perfect results.
Mixing the Dough
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, and olive oil until smooth. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a dough forms.
The dough will be slightly sticky, but that’s normal. If it’s too sticky to handle, add a bit more almond flour until manageable. For a simpler bagel recipe, check out our Greek Yogurt Bagels 2 Ingredients.
Shaping the Bagels
Divide the dough into eight equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten slightly. Use your thumb to create a hole in the center of each, shaping them into bagels.
Place the bagels onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or your choice of toppings over each bagel.
Baking to Perfection
Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch. Allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.
These bagels are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can also be stored and reheated later.
Pro Tips
To make the most out of your bagel-making experience, consider these expert tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother dough.
- Use fresh baking powder for the best rise.
- Don’t overmix the dough; mix until just combined.
- For extra flavor, toast the bagels lightly before serving.
Remember, achieving the perfect texture starts with the right balance of wet and dry ingredients. Adjust as necessary to ensure your dough isn’t too sticky or dry. For more protein-packed options, explore our Protein Bagels Greek Yogurt.

Can I make these bagels ahead of time?
Yes, these almond flour Greek yogurt bagels can be made ahead of time. You can prepare the dough in advance and keep it refrigerated for up to a day before baking.

What can I use instead of almond flour?
