Protein Bagels with Greek Yogurt

Protein Bagels with Greek Yogurt

Protein Bagels with Greek Yogurt offer a simple, healthy, and protein-packed breakfast option that is soft, chewy, and full of subtle tangy flavor. Combining whole wheat flour and Greek yogurt, these bagels are quick to prepare, nutritious, and versatile enough to enjoy with both sweet and savory toppings.

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Full-Fat Greek Yogurt
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons Honey or Maple Syrup

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, egg, and honey until smooth. In another bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet, stirring until a soft dough forms that’s slightly sticky but manageable.
  2. Shape the Bagels: Lightly flour your hands and work surface, then divide the dough into equal portions—usually 4 to 6. Roll each piece into a ball, then press your thumb through the center to create the classic bagel hole, gently stretching to shape a ring.
  3. Bake: Place the shaped bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the bagels to cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing. This step ensures the texture sets perfectly and avoids crumbly bites.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for better moisture and a softer dough.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep bagels tender.
  • Preheat the oven thoroughly to ensure even baking and browning.
  • For a shiny finish, brush the tops with beaten egg before baking.
  • Experiment with mixing whole wheat and all-purpose flour to adjust texture and flavor.
