Description

These Protein Bagels are soft, chewy, and packed with protein! Made with Greek yogurt and protein powder, they’re easy and delicious!


Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

  • 1 ½ cups self-rising flour (or make your own: 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour + 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder + ½ teaspoon salt)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) unflavored or vanilla protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For Topping (Optional):

  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

2. Make the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, mix self-rising flour, Greek yogurt, protein powder, and salt.
  2. Stir until a dough forms, then knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  3. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour.

3. Shape the Bagels

  1. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
  2. Roll each portion into a rope and connect the ends to form a bagel shape.
  3. Place the shaped bagels onto the prepared baking sheet.

4. Add Toppings & Bake

  1. Brush each bagel with the beaten egg for a golden crust.
  2. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning.
  3. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown.

5. Cool & Serve

  • Let the bagels cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Enjoy them warm with your favorite toppings!

Notes

Use thick Greek yogurt – This helps the dough stay firm and not too sticky.
Don’t over-knead – Knead just until smooth to keep the bagels soft.
Add flavor to the dough – Mix in garlic powder, cinnamon, or a pinch of sweetener for variety.
