Hi friends! If you’re looking for an easy, fun, and healthy bagel recipe, you’re going to love these gluten-free mini bagels! They’re soft, a little chewy, and made with just 2 simple ingredients that’s right, only two! They’re perfect for breakfast, lunchboxes, or even a snack with your favorite filling. Best of all? No yeast, no fancy tools, and no stress. Let’s bake!
👩🍳 Method
Mix It Up
Start by grabbing a medium mixing bowl. Add 100g of ground almonds (which is about 1 cup) and 125g of thick yogurt (about ½ cup). If you’d like to boost the flavor just a bit, you can sprinkle in a pinch of salt this is totally optional, but it helps balance the taste. Using a spoon or spatula, mix the ingredients together until a soft dough forms. The dough should come together easily and be moist but not too sticky. If you’re finding it a bit wet (which can happen depending on the yogurt you use), don’t worry! Just add a small spoonful of extra ground almonds and mix again until it’s easier to handle.
Shape the Bagels
Now it’s time for the fun part shaping! Divide the dough into six equal portions. Take one portion and roll it gently between your palms into a ball. Then flatten it slightly so it looks like a thick disc. Using your finger or the handle of a spoon, poke a hole through the center of the dough. Gently stretch the hole just a little bit so it keeps its shape while baking. Repeat this step with all the dough pieces. You’ll end up with six mini bagel shapes.
Top It Off
Line a baking tray with parchment paper so the bagels don’t stick. Place your shaped bagels onto the tray, leaving a little space between each one. Now’s the time to get creative with toppings if you like! You can sprinkle on sesame seeds, nigella seeds, flaky salt, or even a mix of all three. These toppings add crunch and a nice flavor boost to your bagels.
Bake
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Once it’s hot and ready, slide the tray into the oven. Let the bagels bake for about 20 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden color on top. They should feel slightly firm when touched and lift easily from the paper when done. If they look pale, give them a few more minutes, but keep an eye on them so they don’t get too dark.

minutesIngredients
100g ground almonds (about 1 cup)
125g thick yogurt (about ½ cup – I used Fage)
Optional: pinch of salt
Optional toppings: sesame seeds, nigella seeds, flaky salt
Directions
- Mix it up – Add the ground almonds and yogurt to a bowl. If you want a little more flavor, add a pinch of salt. Mix everything well until you get a soft dough.
- Shape the bagels – Use your hands to roll the dough into 6 little balls. Flatten each one and poke a hole in the middle with your finger to make the bagel shape.
- Top it off – Place the bagels on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Add your favorite toppings if you like. I used sesame seeds, nigella seeds, and flaky salt.
- Bake – Pop the tray in the oven at 180°C (about 350°F) for 20 minutes or until golden on top.
Notes
- Don’t skip the baking paper these bagels can stick!
- Make sure to use thick yogurt. If your yogurt is too watery, the dough will be sticky and hard to shape.
- If the dough feels too wet, add a little more ground almonds.





🥄 Serving Suggestions:
- Spread some cream cheese and add sliced cucumber or smoked salmon.
- Try it with almond butter and banana slices for a sweet snack.
- Use it like a sandwich bun fill with turkey, cheese, and lettuce.
- Toast it and dip into soup.
These bagels are super friendly they go with sweet or savory!
