High Protein Bagels

These simple four-ingredient bagels are a fun and easy way to change up your breakfast routine!

Some things don’t need to be overly complicated, just like these simple, four-ingredient High-Protein Bagels. They require minimal prep and can go straight into the oven, keeping things low-fuss so you can focus on actually enjoying breakfast.

The flavor possibilities are endlessly fun, making it easy to customize these bagels to whatever you’re craving. Try mixing things up with any of the following toppings or mix-ins:

• Blueberry

• Rosemary Salt

• Everything

• Sesame

• Garlic

• Cinnamon

• Chocolate Chip

• Jalapeño Cheddar

You can also get creative with what goes inside your bagel. I whipped up a couple of homemade cream cheese variations: one with honey, chopped walnuts, and cinnamon, and another with finely chopped carrots, bell pepper, and green onions. (Tip: Let your cream cheese soften at room temperature before mixing in add-ins for the smoothest texture.)

Don’t like cream cheese? Try one of these options instead:

• Eggs

• Breakfast sausage

• Bacon

• Avocado

• Cheese

• Butter

• Peanut butter

• Egg salad

• Cottage cheese

• Lox

• Hummus

Or really use whatever you love or already have on hand. These bagels are meant to be easy, flexible, and totally customizable!

   Divide the dough into 4 equal sections.

6. If using mix-ins, gently fold them into each section now.

7. Roll each section into an approximately 8-inch rope, then loop and pinch the ends together to form a bagel shape.
