LOW CARB BAGELS made with Everything Bagel seasoning in a mini waffle iron – just 4 ingredients and ready in less than 10 minutes! Smear with a thick layer of cream cheese for a delicious and quick breakfast!
There used to be this bagel shop in my town that sold bagel sticks – basically a bagel breadstick.
Y’all, those were the best bagels of my life.
Just me + a bagel stick + a bucket of cream cheese = pure heaven.
These days I avoid the bagels, but when the chaffle train came screeching into the low carb train station (I’ve had too much coffee today and my writing shows it), I instantly thought of an Everything Bagel Chaffle.
(Not sure what a chaffle is? Read all about chaffles!)
Y’all. Y’ALL.
This is life.

How to make keto bagel chaffles:
For the chaffle batter, you’ll need 1 egg, some mozzarella cheese, a little coconut flour, and some Everything Bagel seasoning. <— You can certainly use store-bought seasoning, but my recipe is quick, easy, and perfect!
Whisk together your egg, coconut flour, and seasoning and then stir in your mozzarella.
I really prefer finely shredded cheese in my chaffles, but use what you’ve got.
Don’t worry – you can order from Amazon for around $10 and I almost guarantee you won’t regret the purchase!
They’ve been on backorder for a bit due to the overwhelming love of the chaffle, but go ahead and order! I’m hearing from readers that they’re shipping out much sooner than the backorder date!
The Dash heats quickly, cooks quickly, takes up barely any space, and it comes in a variety of cute colors. I have the aqua.
