Ingredients (Makes 4 Bagels)
- 1 cup (240g) Greek yogurt (non-fat or full-fat)
- 1 cup (120g) self-rising flour (or make your own—see below)
- 1 scoop (30g) protein powder (vanilla or unflavored, whey or plant-based)

- 1 egg (for optional egg wash)
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings:
- Everything bagel seasoning
- Cinnamon + sugar

How to Make Greek Yogurt Protein Bagels
1. Mix the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, protein powder, and self-rising flour. If using regular flour, add baking powder. Stir until a sticky dough forms. Add a little extra yogurt if it’s too dry, or more flour if too wet.
2. Shape Your Bagels
Flour your hands lightly and divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each into a rope and pinch the ends to form a bagel shape. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Add Toppings
Brush the tops with a beaten egg for a shiny finish. Sprinkle on your favorite toppings.
4. Bake Until Golden
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Let them cool slightly before slicing.
