Protein Bagels Recipe
For 6 Servings
Author: Chris
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20-25 minutes
Total Time: 30-35 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups flour (whole wheat, gluten-free, or all-purpose)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or a plant-based alternative)
- 1 scoop protein powder (any flavor, but vanilla works great)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 egg (or a flax egg for vegan option) for egg wash
- Optional toppings: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything bagel seasoning
Steps
- Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the Greek yogurt until the mixture forms a dough.
- Shape the Bagels: Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each piece into a rope and shape into a bagel. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Add the Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the bagels with egg wash (or your alternative) to give them a golden, shiny finish. Sprinkle your favorite toppings on top.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Your protein-packed breakfast is ready!
Notes
- You can swap the Greek yogurt for a dairy-free option to make these bagels vegan-friendly.
- Experiment with different protein powder flavors—chocolate protein bagels could be a fun twist!
- These bagels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
