Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the cheeses are completely melted and smooth.
Quickly add the cheese mixture to the dry ingredients, then add the eggs. Mix until a dough forms; this may require kneading with your hands.
Fold in the finely chopped jalapenos, grated cheddar cheese, and chopped scallions until evenly distributed within the dough.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten slightly and create a hole in the center to form a bagel shape.
Place the formed bagels onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and cooked through.
Allow them to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your bagels warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
