Description
These High-Protein Bagel Bites combine the classic taste of bagels with protein-rich ingredients, making them a delicious and convenient snack perfect for any time of day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (or low-fat yogurt)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- Sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, eggs, and shredded cheddar until creamy. Slowly combine the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide it into equal portions, about the size of golf balls. Roll each portion into a ball, and then use your finger to poke a hole through the center to form a bagel shape.
- Dip the tops of each bagel bite into a bowl filled with sesame or poppy seeds, if desired.
- Arrange the bagel bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Allow the bagel bites to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or let cool completely for later snacking.
