02 - 1/4 cup unflavored whey protein powder
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon fine salt

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • High in protein with 12g per bagel, perfect for post-workout fuel or keeping you full until lunch
  • Low in fat at just 2g per serving, making them a lighter alternative to traditional bagels
  • Simple ingredient list with no yeast required, meaning no waiting for dough to rise
  • Ready in just 35 minutes from mixing bowl to cooling rack
  • Customizable with different toppings and mix-ins to suit your taste preferences
  • Meal prep friendly and easy to store for quick breakfasts throughout the week
02 -
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt instead of nonfat for an even richer, more tender crumb, though this will increase the fat content slightly
  • Weigh your flour for the most accurate results, as measuring by volume can lead to variations in dough consistency
  • Don't skip the cooling time; letting the bagels rest on a wire rack helps them firm up and develop the perfect texture
  • For meal prep, bake a double batch and freeze extras individually wrapped in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer bag for up to one month
  • Check your protein powder; some brands are sweeter or have different textures, which may affect the final result
  • Make sure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise and texture
