These four-ingredient protein bagels are a simple, high-protein alternative to store-bought bagels, making them a great pre-practice, pre-meet snack option! Packed with muscle-building protein and quick carbs, they are an amazing option before crushing morning practice or powering through a championship final. The recipe is easily customizable, so you can tailor it to your taste and nutritional needs!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup flour (I used gluten free baking powder, but white flour works!)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
Let’s cook!
- Preheat the oven to 400
- In a large mixing bowl combine the Greek yogurt, flour, desired amount of salt and baking powder, mixing until the dough is combined, if the dough is too sticky add more flour (2 tsp at a time)
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 1-2 minutes until smooth
- Divide the dough into equal sections (I divided mine into 4 sections), roll each section into a rope and form a bagel shape, pinching the ends together
- Place bagels onto a baking sheet, brush with an egg wash and top with seasoning of choice (I like to use everything but the bagel seasoning!)
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown, let cool for 20 minutes and enjoy!
Customization ideas:
- Add a variation of shredded cheese and chopped jalapenos for a spicy savory twist!
- Add raisins and cinnamon for a sweet bagel
- Add olives, oregano, and feta for a Mediterranean style bagel
- Mix in mini chocolate chips for a chocolate bagel
- Spread avocado, cream cheese, or nut butter on the bagels for a filling meal
