High Protein Bagels Recipe (Soft, Healthy & Easy)

High Protein Bagels Recipe (Soft, Healthy & Easy)

Here’s a simple, popular low-calorie, high-protein bagel recipe using just a few ingredients like Greek yogurt and flour for a fluffy texture without yeast. This version makes 4 bagels, each around 176 calories with 11g protein.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 160g strong bread flour (reserve 10g for kneading)

  • 190g 0% fat Greek yogurt

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • ½ small egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Mix remaining flour, baking powder, and yogurt in a bowl to form a dough (use hands or spatula). Reserve 10g flour, knead dough lightly on a floured surface, then divide into 4 balls. Poke a hole in each center with your finger and stretch into bagel shapes. Brush with egg wash. Bake 25-30 minutes until golden.

Notes

Store in an airtight container up to 3 days or freeze. Customize with everything bagel seasoning before baking. For even higher protein, use nonfat Greek yogurt; toppings like egg or tuna can boost it further (e.g., tuna version adds ~36g protein total).
