Description

These low-calorie bagels are a game-changer for your breakfast routine—chewy, satisfying, and packed with protein, all under 200 calories per serving.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) self-rising flour (or 2 cups all-purpose flour + 1 tablespoon baking powder + 1 teaspoon salt)
  • 2 cups (500g) non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 egg white (for brushing)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning (or preferred toppings)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (if using self-rising flour; ½ teaspoon if using substitutes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking oil.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and salt (if using). Make a well in the center and add the Greek yogurt and honey if using. Mix until roughly combined, then knead into a cohesive dough.
  3. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each into a smooth ball, then press your thumb through the center to create a bagel shape.
  4. Place the shaped bagels onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with egg white and sprinkle with your chosen toppings.
  5. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For a slightly denser texture, you can substitute up to ½ cup of the flour with whole wheat or oat flour. These bagels are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
