Instructions

Follow these simple steps to prepare your Protein Bagels:

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and protein powder (if using).

Combine with Greek Yogurt

Add the Greek yogurt and honey to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

Shape the Bagels

Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then poke a hole in the center to shape it into a bagel.

Bake the Bagels

Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Serve with Toppings

Let the bagels cool slightly, then top with Vanilla Greek Yogurt and your choice of fresh fruit and drizzle with honey if desired.

Enjoy your homemade Protein Bagels with a refreshing topping!

Storage Tips

To store your Protein Bagels, allow them to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to one week. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Wrap each bagel individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to three months.

When you're ready to enjoy a frozen bagel, simply take it out and let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight, or pop it in the toaster or oven for a quick reheat. This ensures that your bagels maintain their delightful texture and flavor.

Nutritional Benefits

These Protein Bagels are not only tasty but also come packed with numerous health benefits. The use of whole wheat flour adds dietary fiber, which aids digestion and helps you feel fuller for longer. This can be particularly beneficial if you’re looking to manage your weight or support your gut health.

Furthermore, Greek yogurt is rich in probiotics, enhancing your gut flora and contributing to overall digestive health. Combined with the protein content, these bagels can help you maintain stable blood sugar levels, making them a smart breakfast choice for anyone looking to sustain their energy throughout the day.
