4 Ingredient Protein Bagels

Written By Porsha Taylor

What if I told you that you can make a homemade bagel using just 4 ingredients for only 278 calories, packed with 16 grams of protein? We love carbs over here, but also need them to work for us, not against us! I am on a wellness journey that requires me to consume a specific amount of protein in a day, but I also have to make sure I am not in a huge caloric deficit because I am breastfeeding. This recipe has been the perfect addition to my breakfast, helping me ensure that I meet all my goals. If you have a protein goal to hit, but want the satisfaction of enjoying carbs, this is the recipe for you.

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour, I use this kind

  • Whole milk plain Greek yogurt, I really like this kind, but any will do

  • Baking powder

  • Salt

Optional toppings

  • EBTB seasoning

  • Cinnamon sugar

Other

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix well

  • Next, add Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and knead until the mixture is smooth

  • Roll into a ball, elongate slightly to divide into 5 bagels

  • Separate each bagel and roll into a ball. Use your thumb to push a hole in the center of each ball

  • Next, transfer each bagel onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper

  • Brush each bagel with an egg wash

Optional, but highly encouraged

  • Add your favorite topping to each bagel. I like EBTB, and my husband likes cinnamon sugar
