Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (substitute with whole wheat or gluten-free flour for variations)
  • 1 scoop Protein Powder (use unflavored or vanilla flavored powders)
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder (no substitutions recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt (enhances flavor)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt (substitute with plant-based yogurt for vegan version)
  • 1 cup Blueberries (frozen blueberries can be used if dusted with flour)

Topping

  • 1 egg (for egg wash; can be omitted for vegan version)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these ingredients together until they are evenly blended to create a uniform dry mixture.
  2. Add Greek Yogurt: Gradually fold the Greek yogurt into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until the dough forms a shaggy but cohesive mass, indicating the ingredients are coming together properly.
  3. Incorporate Blueberries: Carefully fold in the blueberries, taking care not to crush them during mixing to maintain bursts of flavor and vibrant color in the dough.
  4. Knead Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead it gently for 2 to 3 minutes. This step helps develop the dough’s texture without overworking it.
  5. Shape Bagels: Divide the dough evenly into four pieces. Shape each piece into a classic bagel form by rolling and creating a hole in the center.
  6. Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of each shaped bagel with a beaten egg to create a shiny, golden crust. This step can be skipped for a vegan version. Optionally, add toppings if desired.
  7. Preheat Oven and Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the bagels on a baking tray and bake them for 22 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Cool: Remove the bagels from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack. Allow them to cool for about 5 minutes before serving to set their structure and improve handling.

Notes

  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat or gluten-free flours to accommodate dietary preferences.
  • Use unflavored or vanilla protein powder to complement the sweetness of the blueberries.
  • For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and omit the egg wash.
  • If using frozen blueberries, dust them with a little flour before folding into the dough to prevent excess moisture and staining.
  • Do not over-knead the dough to maintain a tender, soft bagel texture.
