Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir and microwave again in 20-second intervals until the cheeses are melted and fully combined.
Add 1 cup of almond flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 beaten egg, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of Italian seasoning to the cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and shape each part into a bagel shape by rolling into a log and connecting the ends to form a circle. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until they start to become golden brown.
Remove the bagels from the oven and spread about 2 tablespoons of sugar-free marinara sauce on each bagel.
Top each bagel with 3 pepperoni slices and sprinkle with a bit of the remaining mozzarella and 0.25 cup of Parmesan cheese.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are crispy.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh basil leaves, and let cool slightly before serving warm.
