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.
Add half of that mixture to your waffle iron and cook for 3 minutes. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
Bam. Everything Bagel Chaffles!
If you’re really feeling that bagel vibe, cut the center out of the chaffle with a sharp knife! So simple.
Of course, it would not be a bagel without a THICK smear of cream cheese. Load ‘er up.
What kind of waffle maker do you need?
You are going to want a mini waffle maker for this recipe. This size will make 2 bagel-sized waffles.
I use the Dash Mini Waffle Maker.
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.
If you want to make more than 1 mini waffle at a time, check out this one:
If you plan to make chaffles for a family, this should work great! I haven’t tried it myself, but plan to order because my kids are obsessed with chaffles too.

I have never tried chaffles of any kind before, but these were very easy to make and SO delicious!
Karly Campbell says
I’m so glad you enjoyed them!
Dan says
This was good but how did you come up with 19g of protein?
Karly Campbell says
Great question! We use an automatic calculator for the nutrition and I just looked it over. 19 did seem high, so I reran it and got 13. Either way, we’re using an automatic calculator that doesn’t always get it right and sometimes things do vary based on exact brand of ingredients so if you need an exact count, you’d want to run it yourself. 🙂
Susan says
ALDIs has the mini waffle maker for $9.99 right now
Karly Campbell says
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Camelle says
Can you use almond flour instead of coconut flour?
Karly Campbell says
You can!
Terri says
Can I use almond flour. Waiting for my coconut from Amazon.
Karly Campbell says
Yes, that should work fine.
Ann Marie says
Is it the same ration of coconut flour to almond flour? Or should I use a little more or less. I just can’t get around anything coconut, so let me tell you, it’s challenging on keto! Everything is about the coconut 🙁
Karly Campbell says
I think a tablespoon of almond flour would just about right. Coconut flour soaks up so much more liquid. 🙂
Christy says
Can a panini maker work for this batter and if so, would you just dump batter in and still cook for only 3 minutes?
Karly Campbell says
I don’t think it would work, because the batter is very thin and would likely run out of the panini press.
Michelle Fontes says
I am curious if you can make a larger batch. My coworkers and I are making these at work soon and I’m curious if we have to make multiple sets of the recipe or if you have had the experience with doubling or tripling the recipe so the batch can just be continuously used.
Karly Campbell says
You can double/tripe the recipe without issue! My only issue with that is that I tend to overfill the waffle iron because I have so much batter. Just be careful of that and you should be good! 🙂
Michelle Fontes says
Great! Thanks for that tip!!
kim says
Thank you, thank you!!! These were awesome, I went a little heavy on the seasoning but still fantastic.
Kathryn Kelleigh says
Can you add the everything bagel seasoning to the batter before cooking?
Karly Campbell says
Whoops, ignore my previous email – yes, the recipe calls for the seasoning to be added to the batter.
Kathryn Kelleigh says
Whoops I missed that. Skimmed the recipe and just saw the sprinkle part. Thanks.
Kasey Klein says
If you want to make a large batch to make sandwiches, couldn’t you just multiply the recipe and bake them in a cake pan?
Karly Campbell says
We’ve never tried baking this mixture.
Sonja says
Kasey, did you try this?
Alexis says
Big Lots also carries the Everything But the Bagel seasoning, and when they have it in stock, it costs only $1.50.
Love how these turned out, thanks a bunch, ab
