Ingredients

For the Bagels

2 cups almond flour
1 cup protein powder (unflavored)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
2 large eggs

For Everything Seasoning Mix

2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
2 tablespoons dried garlic flakes
1 tablespoon sea salt

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Add Greek yogurt and eggs, mixing until a dough forms.

Cool and Serve

Allow the bagels to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.

Storage Tips

To keep your Protein Bagels fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Simply wrap each bagel individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. When you're ready to eat, you can thaw them overnight in the fridge or pop them in the toaster for a quick warm-up.

It's also a good idea to slice the bagels before freezing, as this makes it easier to toast them directly from the freezer. This way, you'll have a delicious, warm bagel ready in just minutes!

Nutritional Benefits

These Protein Bagels are not just tasty; they pack a significant nutritional punch. With almond flour as the primary ingredient, they are low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats, which can help you feel fuller for longer. The protein from the protein powder and Greek yogurt aids in muscle repair and keeps your energy levels steady throughout the day.

Additionally, the Everything Seasoning adds not only flavor but also a range of nutrients. Ingredients like sesame seeds are rich in calcium, while dried garlic and onion offer antioxidant properties. This makes each bagel not just a meal but a powerhouse of nutrition.
