For the protein girlies ✨

My biggest struggle is getting in enough protein each day, so I'm ways looking for easy ways to help incorporate it.

Cue the easiest "bagel" I've ever made!!! Equal parts self rising flour and non fat plain Greek yogurt. (If you don't have self rising flour, add 2tsp baking powder and 1/4tsp salt per cup of flour) Mix, form into bagels, brush with an egg wash, and bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Each bagel has about 12g

I topped with everything bagel seasoning, but you can also add in whatever you like to flavor your bagels with!

If you're looking to increase your protein intake effortlessly, these fast protein bagels are an excellent option. Using just equal parts self-rising flour and non-fat plain Greek yogurt creates a dough that is not only high in protein but also easy to prepare. This method eliminates the need for complex ingredients or long fermentation times, making it accessible for anyone wanting a quick homemade snack. Self-rising flour is a convenient base because it already contains baking powder and salt, which helps the bagels rise without additional leavening agents. If you don't have it on hand, simply add 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt per cup of all-purpose flour to replicate it. The egg wash applied before baking adds a golden finish and helps toppings like everything bagel seasoning stick. Experimenting with toppings can enhance flavor and texture—try sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or even shredded cheese for variety. Additionally, these bagels serve as a versatile meal base; slice and fill them with smoked salmon, avocado, or nut butter to turn a protein-rich bagel into a complete and satisfying breakfast or snack. Remember, protein is essential for muscle repair, satiety, and overall health, especially when following an active lifestyle or health journey. Incorporating these easy bagels into your routine can help you meet your daily protein goals without compromising taste or convenience. Plus, making your own bagels means you control the ingredients, allowing for healthier, lower-fat options compared to store-bought varieties. With this recipe, even novice bakers can enjoy fresh, fluffy protein bagels straight from the oven in just 20 minutes at 350°F. Give it a try and share your favorite flavor combinations with the community!
