Whip up these delicious and protein-packed Jalapeño Cheddar Protein Bagels for a breakfast that’s both satisfying and easy to make. Enjoy a chewy texture with a spicy-savory kick!
Ingredients
- 2 cups (240g) self-rising flour
- 1/2 cup (50g) unflavored whey protein isolate
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (240g) plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup (60g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese, plus extra for topping (optional)
- 1–2 fresh jalapeños, finely diced (seeds and membranes removed for less heat)
- 1 large egg, whisked with 1 tablespoon water or milk (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together self-rising flour, whey protein isolate, and salt.
- Add Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and mix with a spoon or hands until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Flatten slightly and sprinkle diced jalapeños and cheddar cheese over it. Gently fold and knead briefly to distribute mix-ins.
- Knead dough for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Divide into 6-8 equal portions. Roll each into a ball, then poke a hole in the center and stretch to form a bagel shape.
- Place shaped bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush generously with egg wash and sprinkle with extra cheese or jalapeño if desired.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
