Testimony of the Day
“The keto lifestyle and triathlon training go hand-in-hand! Forcing my body to utilize fat during the long swims, bike rides and runs makes fueling a breeze! No more gels or sports drinks every 30 minutes…and not only does my body remain strong, my mind and energy do as well.
My kids are loving all of the new recipes I have been making, especially the Keto Fudge! And I had to laugh when my husband was skeptical of your Twice-Baked Cauliflower recipe…and then I had to yell at him to save some for the kids because he was going to eat all of it!!! He requests them all the time now!” Kristen
HAQ Supplement Testimony: “Some of the benefits from working out everyday and eating the Maria way.. my bad back and joint issues are pretty much gone. I was so afraid of how bad my back would be on the cruise sleeping in the beds there. I did not have one problem!!! Amazing! Also, just raked leaves for 2 hours at my house this weekend. That would usually lead me to the chiropractor and medication and hot/cold packs for a week….not this time. Only required me to do some extra stretching of my low back!! WOW! Looking forward to a healthier future!!” – Mary Jo
30 Day Accelerated Testimony: “I am excited to move forward with the plan- just dabbling with the Maria way- my husband has lost 25 lbs (in first 5 weeks!)- I have lost 6 ( go figure) but we both feel so much better being grain free-and sugar free- my pre-diabetes is now in the normal range J My tonsils are decreasing in size by quite a bit- so excited to do some fine tuning- just hoping I can get my weight loss moving – a bit faster hopefully! Hubby loves the recipes and never complains about what I serve for dinner, or any meal for that matter. I have switched my pantry over- need to order a few more supplements- thanks for making everything so easy to follow! You are truly a God send ( literally) thank you for all you do! God Bless!” – Diana

I had company over last weekend and I made my garlic bread. One person commented that it tastes good, but the texture it too much like angel food cake…he couldn’t get past the consistancy. So I experimented a bit on making a more “bread-like” texture. When making “gluten-free” foods, it is hard to get the “chewiness” that gluten creates. Guar gum and Xanthan Gum are fibers that thicken foods and create chewiness to breads. Adding a teaspoon or two to baked goods create a great texture.
HEALTHIFIED Protein BAGEL
1/2 cup vanilla egg white protein powder
2 TBS coconut flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp guar gum (optional: for chewy texture)
1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt
10 eggs
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
2 tsp blueberry extract
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. In a medium-small bowl mix the dry ingredients. Add the eggs and coconut oil and extract.
Spoon the dough into a greased “donut” mold or shape into bagels on a cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes Makes 12 bagels.
NUTRITIONAL Comparison:
Healthified bagel = 88 calories, 2 carbs, 1 fiber
Small “LENDER’s Bagel = 140 calories, 29 carbs, 1 fiber

Thank you for the tips on regaining “chewiness”. I get that complaint often with my baking.

Hi Maria, I made these but didn’t have the blueberry extract so they looked beautiful, the texture was great, but they tasted like egg. So I fried up some turkey sausage and cheese and had a breakfast sandwich. It was so Yummy!! I haven’t had a breakfast sandwich in years! Thank you for the recipe!! My question is, since I have to buy blueberry extract, who is your favorite brand? I didn’t find any in your store and they all seem to have alcohol, is that OK?
I found the blueberry extract in your store. Sorry! Thanks Again for another awesome recipe!!!
Thanks!

Look for ones free of poly glycols
what do you grease with? i have spectrum “pam”
Yes, Spectrum pam would work great. Happy Baking!
Where is the protein in this “Protein Bagel” recipe?!
I love your blog and your recipes have helped me so much … that is why I am looking for something “sweet” for breakfast that also has some protein!
The whey protein. Thanks! 🙂
Can you use fresh whole blueberries instead of jam? Also, which do you prefer egg white protein or whey?
Thanks!
Both egg white and whey work equally well. I would do egg to be sure you aren’t dairy sensitive.
Thanks for the prompt reply! Can I use the egg white powder instead of whey for any of your recipes that calls it out?
Also, made your sub rolls with almond flour and egg whites last night as buns for turkey burgers and they were absolutely tasty awesome!
Just found you yesterday on internet and bought your ebook on Metabolism. I have tried everything to loose weight for 4 years now after gaining 50 from having total hysterectomy and never loose more than 4-5 pounds.
Yes, egg white works in any. Thanks!
Have you ever used Agar (japanese sea vegetable geletin) for thickening instead of guar or xanthan gum. I have used it in making my own jam but I wonder if it would work the same for baked goods such as these bagels? What do you think Maria?
What a great testimony. I feel stronger just hearing how great your plan is!
The bagel recipe looks so good. I like the suggestion to include guar gum. I’m curious to see how it differs in texture from baking with psyllium (which I do use, but find the texture a little slimy sometimes….Slimy is a strong word, and it’s really not so bad if I only partake of a sub-bun once a week or so, but I do miss a good, chewy breadish something).
It is a bit more gummy/chewy texture than psyllium. 🙂
I just mixed these up exactly as described. The batter is liquid. I couldn’t form them into anything but crepes. Are the amounts of coconut flour and protein powder correct? Even after I let it sit it did not firm up.
I added an extra 3 TBSP of coconut flour, sifted it in (one at a time waiting after each) and an extra 2/3 cup protein powder and an extra tsp guar gum to try to get a consistency that I could “shape into bagels on a cookie sheet.” as per directions. There is no way!
I waited a good 1/2 hour and it is still like a very thin cake batter. I guess I’ll try to cook it as cupcakes.
There go my hopes of a bagel!
Your coconut flour might not absorb as much moisture as mine. Different brands can do that. Try adding a bit more until you get a wet but more normal dough. 🙂
Thanks Maria. I had not had that experience before with your recipes, or with my coconut flour. They turned out like heavy cellulose sponges. My son almost died laughing at me as I tried to eat one. Yours look divine!
Sorry, not sure what happened there.
I loved the testimony, and found the simple steps to this recipe appealing, but decided to, play around with this recipe after reading some found the consistency runny. So I made it, keeping some ingredients the same but; with half the eggs, only one tbsp. of coconut flour, and added, 1 tbsp. of psyllium powder, 2 tbsp. of water and a tsp. of apple cider vinegar. I added sesame seeds to some and, sprinkled some with cinnamon. Made great muffins!
i just made this recipe and it didn’t work at all. Where does it say to beat the egg whites separately?
can I use a waffle amker?
That should work. 🙂
I just made these. I too had a liquid “dough”. I added extra coconut flour and whey protein with little success. I finally made them into eggy tasting cupcakes. I think I will try fewer eggs next time.
I have been trying keto adapted since Wednesday – it is now Sunday and I’ve already lost five pounds! It is very hard finding some of the ingredients and I’ve improvised a bit but it seems to be working when nothing else was! Thank you Maria!
Way to go! 🙂
Thank you for this recipe. I haven’t been able to make the keto bread because I didn’t have a good mixer for the egg whites, so instead I’ve been making these for my bread.
My favorite is adding cinnamon and then smearing it with lard rather than cream cheese since I just started keto program and am cutting the dairy. I never would have believed I would like lard smeared on a bagel!
Yum! 🙂
Does NOW Foods Eggwhite Protein Powder work as well as Jay Rob Eggwhite Protein powder?
Yes
I see a few people mention egg whites specifically. Is it missing a step for separating the whites and fluffing them? Or do you just add all 10 eggs into the mixer? I’d like to find a recipe that doesn’t require whipped egg whites! Thanks!
Yes. In this recipe you whip the whites.
Also, one more question, sorry. Is xantham replaceable 1:1 for guar in recipes like this? Again, thank you.
Yes it is.
Newbie here! So if you whip the egg whites, you don’t use the yolks in this recipe?
If you want to whip them then add yolks back in slowly after. 🙂
