Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt Sub: any plain yogurt if you prefer
- 1 cup almond flour Sub: oat flour or whole wheat flour for a chunky texture
- 2 cups all-purpose flour Sub: gluten-free flour for GF option
- 1 scoop protein powder Sub: any flavor you like or even omit for lower protein
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup optional for a touch of sweetness
- 1 egg for egg wash
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, almond flour, all-purpose flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and honey. Mix it up with a spatula or your hands until everything is well combined.
- Form the Dough: Your mixture should come together into a dough that’s slightly sticky. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour a tablespoon at a time until it’s workable.
- Shape the Bagels: Now for the fun part! Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and roll each piece into a ball. Then, poke a hole in the center of each ball and gently stretch it to form a bagel shape.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Get those baking sheets ready with parchment paper!
- Egg Wash: Whisk up the egg in a small bowl. Brush the top of each bagel with this egg wash for a shiny finish.
- Bake: Pop those bagels into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until they are nice and golden brown. They should smell absolutely divine!
- Cool and Enjoy: Let them cool on a wire rack (if you can wait!) and then enjoy your delicious protein bagels with your favorite toppings!
