Perfect for Meal Prep

These Protein Bagels are not only quick to make, but they also work wonderfully for meal prepping. Bake a batch at the beginning of the week, and you'll have a nutritious option ready to go for busy mornings or snack times. Store them in an airtight container, and they will stay fresh for several days, or freeze them for longer storage.

Simply pop them in the toaster or microwave to warm them up, and they’ll taste just as fresh as the day you made them. This makes them an ideal choice for anyone looking to streamline their meal planning while still enjoying delicious, healthy foods.

Ingredients

For the Bagels

2 cups high-protein flour
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 large egg
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon honey

For the Everything Bagel Topping

2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 tablespoons dried minced garlic
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
1 tablespoon coarse sea salt

Mix well and let the dough rest for 10 minutes before shaping.

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

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

Shape the Bagels

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a bagel by rolling it into a ball and then poking a hole in the center.

Boil the Bagels

Bring a pot of water to a boil and add honey. Boil each bagel for about 1-2 minutes on each side.

Apply the Topping

Remove the bagels from the water and place them on a baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with Everything Bagel seasoning.

Bake

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Let the bagels cool before serving.

Tips for Perfect Bagels

To ensure your bagels come out perfectly every time, make sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Using a kitchen scale can help you achieve the right proportions, especially with the high-protein flour. Additionally, don’t skip the boiling step, as this is what gives bagels their signature chewy texture.

If you want to add extra flavor to your bagels, consider incorporating spices or herbs directly into the dough. Garlic powder, onion powder, or even dried herbs can elevate the taste and make your bagels unique.

Serving Suggestions

These Protein Bagels can be served in numerous ways, making them a versatile addition to your meal rotation. For breakfast, pair them with avocado and poached eggs for a filling and nutritious start to your day. For lunch, create a bagel sandwich with turkey, cheese, and fresh veggies for a satisfying mid-day meal.

You can also slice them and use them as a base for mini pizzas or bruschetta, making them perfect for entertaining or casual snacking. The possibilities are endless, and you can easily adapt them to suit different cuisines and palates.
