Low Carb Cheddar Sausage Stuffed Bagels are a tasty and easy baked bagel that has no grains, no nuts, no gluten and is 100% perfection!
When it comes to breakfast, my family and I like hearty, filling and warm meals to start the day.
Sometimes I can get them to have a smoothie for breakfast, but when it's a cold winter's morning, they want a hot meal.
This year I've partnered with Bob's Red Mill to bring you some family friendly, but low carb recipes using some of my favorite flours and other products they make.
If you're new to my page you may not have known that my youngest son has a tree nut allergy. Making low carb recipes without nut flours has been easy using Bob's Red Mill Organic Coconut flour. My son doesn't like the flavor of coconut at all, but disguising it into tasty recipes like these bagels, and he doesn't even realize he's eating it.
My life is all about getting the most bang for my buck as far as time goes in the kitchen. I want to make it once, have a lot left over, to enjoy multiple times during the week. I also have 3 kids and a hungry hubby so a few days of not worrying about a healthy breakfast for them is key.
These bagels are the perfect thing to make ahead on the weekend and store in the fridge for the week ahead.
Once the sausage is cooked and the batter is prepared, set up is fairly easy. If you're not a fan of pork sausage, use ground turkey or chicken.
It's an all-in-one meal! You've got the protein and it's low carb too!
Healthy, easy, make ahead, low carb, satisfying! And if you too have someone in your family with a nut allergy, this is perfect for them. If you have someone who doesn't like coconut like my little man, no problem, they will never even taste it!

Hi! I made these and substituted almond flour for the protein powder. They are delicious! So glad I found your website!
Brenda
Thanks for coming back to share that! Glad you liked them!
Diane
Hi, Brenda...bet you hate all these questions about substitutions! I, too, am wondering about something in place of the sour cream? Thanks much!
Brenda
If you need it dairy free try using coconut cream instead. But if you just don't like sour cream try cream cheese. I've not made this with either sub so let me know if you do end up trying it.
Christine
Usually plain reg or Greek yogurt works too!
Josh
Could the protein powder be substituted for or omitted?
Brenda
I wouldn't leave out the protein powder, you could sub egg white protein powder with it.
Sue
This looks like a winner! I don't have a donut pan, but do have a pan that makes 18 mini loaves. Do you suppose I could sub that?? I've been looking for ways to use this pan, and since we're low carb/gluten free, this recipe would fit the bill. Thanks,
Brenda
Sure that would work, maybe don't fill them all the way up though, just half way up the sides of the loaves. Let me know how it goes!
Courtney
Just thought I'd drop by to say I love your blog! We are a low carb family also, with a few of us having nut allergies, so most recipes are unsuitable for us. Not any more, thanks to you!! I don't keep protein powder in the house, so any ideas what I could sub it with, that keeps it nut free?
Brenda
I wonder if you could sub maybe ground flaxseed instead? I've not tried it, sorry!
Angela
This sounds so good! I have a question.
When you list protein powder, I have some but it is vanilla flavored as is the one you linked to, is that ok?
Brenda
Yes vanilla can be used, I'm not sure if you will notice much vanilla flavor with the cheddar and sausage masking it.
Dawn
I'm snowed I and don't have a donut pan, could I use a mini bundt pan or would a muffin tin or something else work better? I'm just beginning my quest to low carb and I've been loving your sugar free recipes for more than a year now. Thank you so much!
Fareeda
12 eggs...is this a typo?
Brenda
no that is correct. it's the coconut flour, it's needed.
Kelly
Do you think egg whites could be substituted for half the eggs?
Nutmeg Nanny
Ummmmm these are the kind of bagels I want every single morning. Normally when I eat a bagel I end up starving an hour later because my body needs more than just bread. This is the perfect balance of meat to carb goodness 🙂
Melissa from Hungry Food Love
Wow they look sooo perfect. They would be a great way to start my family's weekend. I'll make them this Sat 🙂
Angie | Big Bear's Wife
I want a hot breakfast in the mornings during the winter too. I mean I love smoothies but I love bagels even more haha Love all of the cheese and sausage in these!
Kim Beaulieu
I love this idea. The kids would go nuts for this. Plus it's such a great recipe for a cold winter morning. There's days we head to the barn in the morning and I just want a hot breakfast in my belly before we brave those temperatures. This is perfect.
Nicole Hood
Wow! These bagels look amazing. Saving the recipe to make this week.
Isabelle @ Crumb
Love this idea! I'm always on the lookout for hearty yet healthy breakfast options, so this sounds like it's right up my alley... I bet it would be fun to play around with different combinations of cheese and breakfast meats, too. (Can you say bacon version? Yeesssssss.)
Bethany @ Athletic Avocado
WOW! Ive never seen a bagel with cheese and sausage stuffed in side and low carb all at once, this is genius!
Aly ~ Cooking In Stilettos
Brenda - what a genius idea - love this recipe! My donut pans clearly don't get enough love until now with these amazing bagels!
Rose | The Clean Dish
As much as I love smoothies, I definitely want something warm on a cold winter morning so I'm totally with you on this! These stuffed bagels are a dream! I know my hubs would absolutely adore them so - bookmarking this!!
Renee - Kudos Kitchen
Wait. What? These look incredible! Oh how I wish I had one for breakfast right now. Plus, I need to get me one (or two) of those donut pans. *note to self*
Heather | All Roads Lead to the Kitchen
This look insanely delicious, I'm loving that the filling is baked right into the bagel - yum!

Lauren+Kelly+Nutrition
This is such a great idea! I love the idea of making them ahead of time so I don't have to worry about breakfast on those busy mornings!
Ashley @ Wishes and Dishes
I always want a hot breakfast in the winter - cold smoothies and/or cereal just don't sound good to me! Love this idea!
Kelly
Could you use chia seeds instead of flax seed?.
Brenda
I'm not sure that chia can sub for flax. Maybe use almond meal instead of flax.
Dita MacDonald
I love, love your site. This is a terrific recipe(just like all the rest of them)!! I can't wait to make these bagels. Thanks for all your hard work.
Brenda
thank you!
Krisha
I just discovered your website and have been meaning to tell you how absolutely great it is! Thank you for working these recipes that are low sugar and low carb! We are striving toward both in our house. And these are so great! So thank you!!
Wondering in this recipe if there is a sub for the protein powder? Do you think Almond flour would work?
Thank you again so much!!! Your website is truly a blessing!
Brenda
Yes I think almond flour would work but I haven't tried it so if you do will you come back and let me know how it goes?
Leanne Gray
I made this recipe last night and I substituted ALMOND flour for coconut and it tastes AMAZING ?
I also made it in a 9X13 pan
Baked it for 30 minutes added the balance of the cheese and then another 5 minutes.
Definitely will make again.
Joy
Can protein powder be skipped?
What can I use instead?
More flaxmeal?
Brenda
It will effect the texture without the protein powder and I've not swapped it with anything to test it out.
