When I first decided to experiment with protein-rich ingredients, making bagels never crossed my mind. However, after some research, I merged my love for bagels with my need for more protein. The result? These delicious protein-packed bagels that are satisfying and healthy!

One tip I learned while making these bagels is to let the dough rest for a bit before shaping. This helps the gluten develop, leading to a chewier texture—just like traditional bagels. Plus, don’t skimp on the seasoning; the Everything Spice truly brings the flavors together beautifully!

Understanding the Dough

The dough for these Protein Bagels is uniquely designed for a chewy yet tender texture. Greek yogurt serves as a crucial ingredient, adding moisture and protein while contributing to the bagels' overall elasticity. This combination helps the bagels rise well in the oven without the use of yeast, making them perfect for those who want a quicker alternative without sacrificing texture.

Coconut flour absorbs a significant amount of liquid, so it's essential to measure it accurately. If you notice the dough becoming too sticky during mixing, gradually incorporate additional almond flour to achieve a manageable consistency. The goal is a dough that isn't too wet and can hold its shape during baking—your hands should remain relatively clean as you work!

Perfecting the Bake

Preheating your oven to the correct temperature is vital for achieving that golden brown exterior. I recommend an oven thermometer to ensure accuracy since uneven heating can affect your final result. The bagels should bake for about 25 minutes, but keep an eye on them toward the end; look for a rich golden color and a slight firmness when gently pressed in the center.

If you prefer a crustier bagel, you can increase the temperature to 375°F (190°C) for the last five minutes of baking. This will help develop a slightly crispier crust while still maintaining the soft interior. Just remember, every oven is different—so make sure to adjust as necessary!

Ingredients

For the Bagels

1 cup Greek yogurt
1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
2 eggs
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon Everything Spice blend

Instructions

Steps

Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, almond flour, coconut flour, eggs, baking powder, and salt until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more almond flour.

Shape the Bagels

Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a rope about 8 inches long and shape it into a circle, pinching the ends together to seal.

Bake the Bagels

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the shaped bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with a whisked egg and sprinkle generously with Everything Spice. Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Enjoy!

Pro Tips

For an extra flair, add a sprinkle of sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top before baking. These bagels freeze well, so you can make a batch and enjoy them throughout the week!

Storing and Freezing

These Protein Bagels can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them for a longer period, consider freezing them. Wrap each bagel individually in plastic wrap or foil and place them in a freezer bag. They will retain their best quality for up to 3 months. Just remember to label the bags with the date for reference.

To reheat, simply let the frozen bagels sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then toast them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes. This will revive their delightful chewiness while enhancing the flavors of the Everything Spice blend.

Serving Suggestions

These bagels shine brightly on their own, but there are countless ways to enjoy them! Try slicing one in half and spreading a layer of cream cheese or avocado for a fulfilling breakfast. You could also top them with smoked salmon, cucumbers, or even a light sprinkling of fresh herbs for added flavor and nutrition.

For those who love experimenting, consider adding ingredients to the dough itself, such as sun-dried tomatoes or chopped herbs. This can give your bagels a unique twist that pairs beautifully with different toppings. The flexibility of the bagel recipe means you can customize it to suit your taste preferences!
