Ingredients You’ll Need
This is a simple recipe with just a handful of ingredients that blend perfectly for texture, taste, and baking ease. I always recommend using superfine almond flour because it really helps the bites hold their shape and creates that lovely, soft crumb. And the dairy-free yogurt brings moisture and a little tang, helping the bites stay soft, not dry.
- Superfine blanched almond flour: Look for superfine grind for best texture — it creates a wonderfully soft bite without grittiness.
- Plain, unsweetened dairy-free yogurt: I usually use coconut yogurt, but any unsweetened plant-based yogurt works. It keeps the bites moist and adds a subtle tang.
- Everything bagel seasoning: This is optional but seriously the star of the show. I love the mix of toasted sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, onion, and salt — it transforms the bites with that signature crunch and flavor.
Variations
I like to switch things up depending on what flavors I’m craving or what’s in my pantry. Feel free to experiment — that’s the fun of making recipes like this your own!
- Herbed version: I’ve mixed in some dried rosemary or thyme into the dough to add a savory twist – it’s fantastic warm, especially with a little vegan cream cheese.
- Spicy touches: Adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or smoked paprika to the everything seasoning gives it a nice kick that I personally love.
- Seed swaps: If you’re out of everything bagel seasoning, sprinkle your bites with hemp seeds, chia seeds, or even flax for extra nutrition and texture.
- Yogurt alternatives: You can use almond milk yogurt, soy yogurt, or cashew yogurt based on your preference. Each version shifts the tang and moisture slightly, but they all work well.
How to Make Vegan Keto Everything Bagel Bites Recipe
Step 1: Mix Almond Flour and Yogurt Together
Start by combining your superfine almond flour and unsweetened dairy-free yogurt in a medium bowl. Use a spoon or your hands to mix until you get a soft, dough-like consistency that holds together when pressed. If it feels too dry, add a little more yogurt, but go slow — you want dough that’s easy to shape but not sticky.
Step 2: Shape and Season the Bites
Now, take small amounts of the dough and roll them into little bite-sized balls, about 1-inch diameter works well. Place each ball on your baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Then, generously sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over each ball, pressing lightly so it sticks. You can also roll the bites in the seasoning if you want a thicker layer of that classic crunch.
Step 3: Bake Until Golden
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the bites for around 15 to 18 minutes. Keep an eye on them towards the end — they should turn a lovely golden brown on the outside but still stay soft inside. Because of the almond flour, they bake quickly and can dry out if left too long, so timing is key!
How to Serve Vegan Keto Everything Bagel Bites Recipe
Garnishes
I often top these bites with a little extra everything bagel seasoning right out of the oven, just because I’m a seasoning fan! You can also spread on some vegan cream cheese or a flavored cashew cheese for an extra touch. Fresh chives or dill work well sprinkled on top if you want a herbal twist.
Side Dishes
These bites pair beautifully with cool cucumber slices, marinated olives, or a simple fresh salad. I sometimes serve them with a bowl of vegan chili or tomato soup for a hearty snack or light lunch. Their flavor is versatile — they make a great companion to just about any meal!
Creative Ways to Present
For parties, I like arranging these Vegan Keto Everything Bagel Bites on a wooden board with little bowls of dips like tahini, guacamole, or a spicy vegan mayo. You can even skewer them with olives and cherry tomatoes for a fun appetizer platter. It gives your guests that “wow” moment without spending hours in the kitchen.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
I store my leftover bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They keep nicely but might lose some crispiness, so I usually reheat them before eating. Just make sure to cool completely before storing to avoid sogginess.
Freezing
These bagel bites freeze really well! I flash freeze them on a tray first, then transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag. When you want a quick snack, just pop them in the oven straight from the freezer—no need to thaw, which is super convenient for busy days.
Reheating
I reheat my Vegan Keto Everything Bagel Bites in the oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 8-10 minutes. This helps refresh their crisp edges without drying them out. Microwave works in a pinch but might soften the texture too much for my liking.
FAQs
-
Can I make Vegan Keto Everything Bagel Bites without yogurt?
Great question! The yogurt in this recipe adds moisture and tang, which helps create that tender texture. You can try substituting it with unsweetened applesauce or mashed avocado, but the texture might shift a bit. If you want to skip yogurt entirely, adding a bit of water or plant-based milk could help, but it may affect the consistency.
-
Is everything bagel seasoning necessary?
While the everything bagel seasoning is optional, it really adds that signature flavor and crunch to these bites. If you don’t have it on hand, you can sprinkle on garlic powder, onion powder, and sesame seeds separately to mimic the taste. Or feel free to get creative with your favorite herbs and spices!
-
Can I use regular almond flour instead of superfine?
You can use regular almond flour, but superfine almond flour gives a smoother texture and better crumb. Regular almond flour is a bit coarser and might make your bagel bites a bit denser or grainier. If you only have regular, it will still work but expect a slightly different texture.
-
How low-carb/keto friendly is this recipe?
This recipe is very keto-friendly because it uses almond flour instead of wheat, which keeps net carbs low. Plus, there’s no added sugars or high-carb ingredients. It’s a great option if you want that bagel flavor without breaking your keto goals.

Honestly, these Vegan Keto Everything Bagel Bites have become one of my go-to recipes whenever I want something comforting but keto-friendly and dairy-free. I love how simple they are to make, plus the fact they satisfy that everything bagel craving so well. I’m confident that once you try this recipe, you’ll keep coming back to it for quick snacks, party apps, or even a fun breakfast bite.
