free from: gluten, grains, dairy and refined-sugar (paleo and nut free option)
Bagels are one of my favorite foods because they are delicious AND so versatile. You can make them sweet or savory, and add pretty much any topping you could want. When Spero Foods sent me some of their sunflower cream cheese (gifted), I knew I had to make Paleo Bagels to go with it.

Recipe Details
In the photo above, I used Spero’s strawberry cream cheese as a topping (my fave flavor) but I also used these Paleo Bagels for loaded breakfast sandwiches and they held up SO well.
The trick is to cut them in half slowly with a sharp knife so they don’t crumble, and then toast for a minute or two. This will make them super sturdy and ready to be eaten! You can still eat them untoasted, but they may be a bit crumblier. They last about a week in an airtight container, or longer in freezer.
The bagels are paleo, gluten free, and dairy free.
Grain Free Goodness
- Eggs
- Apple cider vinegar
- Avocado oil
- Maple syrup
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Almond flour
- Coconut flour
- Arrowroot starch
- Everything but the bagel seasoning
Substitutions:
These unfortunately cannot be made vegan because eggs are a key ingredient, but if you try to sub eggs let me know how it goes! MAYBE something like aquafaba would work since it’s fluffier?
The maple syrup can be swapped for any liquid sweetener.
These can be made nut free if you sub SunFlour for almond flour (use code “livwelleatwell” for 10% off!).
