These Greek Yogurt Bagels offer a deliciously high-protein alternative to traditional bagels, combining the tangy creaminess of Greek yogurt with a soft, chewy texture. Perfect for a quick breakfast or snack, these bagels are easy to make, require minimal ingredients, and can be customized with various toppings to suit your taste.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Optional: 2 tsp cinnamon (for cinnamon bagels)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (thick consistency recommended)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Optional Toppings

  • Everything bagel seasoning
  • Cinnamon
  • Shredded cheese
  • Garlic & herbs
  • Chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. If you prefer cinnamon bagels, add 2 teaspoons of cinnamon to the dry mix and blend well.
  3. Incorporate Yogurt: Add the Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until a dough starts to form. Then, use your hands to knead the dough gently until it becomes smooth and cohesive.
  4. Shape the Bagels: Lightly flour your work surface. Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it slightly. Use a spoon handle or roll the dough into a log shape first and connect the ends to create the characteristic bagel hole.
  5. Egg Wash & Toppings: Whisk the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the surface of each bagel to give them a glossy finish. Sprinkle your chosen toppings evenly on each bagel for extra flavor and texture.
  6. Bake: Place the prepared bagels on the lined baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bagels are cooked through.
  7. Cool & Serve: Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Allow them to cool before slicing to maintain their shape and texture. Serve and enjoy your homemade high-protein Greek yogurt bagels!

Notes

  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier, more fiber-rich version.
  • If you prefer sweeter bagels, add chocolate chips into the dough or sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
  • For savory flavors, try toppings like shredded cheese, garlic, or herb blends.
  • Do not over-knead the dough to keep the bagels soft and tender.
  • Ensure your Greek yogurt is thick to avoid a too sticky dough; if it’s runny, drain the excess whey before use.
  • Allow bagels to cool fully before slicing to prevent crumbling.
