Description

These protein bagels with Greek yogurt are light, fluffy, and packed with protein, making them a perfect option for a quick and nutritious breakfast or a high-protein snack. Unlike traditional bagels, this recipe requires no yeast, no boiling, and minimal prep time, making it ideal for busy mornings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup thick, plain Greek yogurt (2%) – Provides protein and moisture.
  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour – Adds fiber and a slightly nutty flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder – Helps the bagels rise.
  • 1 large egg (whisked) – For an egg wash that gives a glossy, golden-brown crust.
  • Toppings (optional):
    • Poppy seeds
    • Sea salt
    • Sesame-free everything bagel seasoning
    • Sesame seeds

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Dough

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine:
    • Greek yogurt
    • Flour
    • Baking powder
  • Stir with a spatula or spoon until the ingredients start to come together into a dough-like consistency.

Step 3: Knead the Dough

  • Lightly flour a clean surface and transfer the dough onto it.
  • Knead the dough gently for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Avoid over-kneading, as this can make the bagels dense.

Step 4: Shape the Bagels

  • Divide the dough into four equal portions.
  • Roll each portion into a ball, then press your thumb through the center to create a bagel shape. Stretch the hole slightly so it doesn’t close up while baking.
  • Arrange the shaped bagels evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5: Egg Wash & Add Toppings

  • In a small bowl, whisk 1 egg with ½ tablespoon of water.
  • Brush the egg wash evenly over each bagel. This step gives them a golden-brown crust when baked.
  • Sprinkle with your choice of toppings, such as poppy seeds, sea salt, or everything bagel seasoning.

Step 6: Bake the Bagels

  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  • If you want a crispier texture, you can broil the bagels for the last 1-2 minutes of baking.

Step 7: Cool & Serve

  • Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  • Enjoy them plain, toasted, or with your favorite spreads like:
    • Cream cheese
    • Avocado
    • Peanut butter
    • Scrambled eggs

Notes

  • Flour Variations: You can substitute white whole wheat flour with all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Use dairy-free Greek-style yogurt for a lactose-free version.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheating: Toast in a toaster or warm in an oven at 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes.
