Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)

1/2 cup protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)

2 tablespoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup water (add more if needed)

1 egg (for egg wash)

Optional toppings: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

      Incorporate Greek Yogurt: Add the Greek yogurt and honey (or maple syrup) to the dry mixture. Use a fork to combine until it starts to form a dough.

        Knead the Dough: Transfer the mixture to a floured countertop. Knead the dough gently for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.

          Shape the Bagels: Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then poke a hole in the center with your finger, gently shaping it into a bagel.

            Prepare for Baking: Place the shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and brush it over each bagel for a nice golden finish. Sprinkle your choice of toppings over the bagels.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bagels are golden brown and firm to the touch.

                Cool & Serve: Allow the bagels to cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy them fresh or store them in an airtight container for later!
