Ingredients

For the Bagels

2 cups high-protein flour
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Everything Bagel Seasoning

2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons poppy seeds

1 tablespoon dried onion
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine the high-protein flour, Greek yogurt, baking powder, salt, honey, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

Shape the Bagels

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then poke a hole in the center to form a bagel shape.

Add the Seasoning

In a small bowl, mix together the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and sea salt. Dip the tops of each bagel into the seasoning mixture.

Bake the Bagels

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Let the bagels cool before enjoying!

Storage Tips for Freshness

To keep your Protein Bagels fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you plan to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Simply wrap each bagel in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy, just thaw them at room temperature or pop them in the toaster for a quick reheat.

Reheating your bagels is easy and restores their delicious texture. For a crispy exterior, place them in the oven for a few minutes or toast them until golden. This method revives their original flavors and makes them taste freshly baked.

Health Benefits of Ingredients

The star ingredient, Greek yogurt, is not only a source of protein but also rich in probiotics, which are beneficial for gut health. This helps in digestion and boosts your immune system. Additionally, using high-protein flour enhances the nutritional profile of your bagels, ensuring you get the energy you need without the empty calories.

The Everything Bagel seasoning adds flavor without unnecessary calories. With sesame and poppy seeds, it brings a crunch and nutty taste, while dried garlic and onion offer added health benefits, such as antioxidant properties. This blend not only makes your bagels taste amazing but also supports overall health.

Customizing Your Bagels

Feel free to get creative with your bagel dough. Add-ins like chopped herbs, sun-dried tomatoes, or cheese can elevate your bagels to the next level. If you prefer a sweeter version, try incorporating cinnamon or dried fruits into the mix. These adjustments allow you to tailor each batch to your tastes and make every baking session unique.

For those who enjoy experimenting, consider making mini bagels for a fun appetizer or party snack. Just adjust the baking time slightly and enjoy these bite-sized versions with your favorite dips or spreads. The possibilities are endless when it comes to customizing your Protein Bagels!
