- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, divided
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/2 cup (50g) protein powder (whey or whey/casein blend recommended)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Prepare Blueberry Swirl: In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, mashing, until thickened. Cool completely.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, remaining 1 tablespoon maple syrup, water, and vanilla extract (if using).
- Combine & Knead Dough: Pour wet ingredients into dry. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Add Swirl & Shape: Flatten dough into a rectangle. Spread cooled blueberry mixture evenly. Roll tightly into a log and pinch seam. Divide into 6-8 pieces. Shape each piece into a bagel, pinching ends firmly.
- Boil Bagels: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil bagels 2-3 at a time for 30 seconds per side.
- Bake Bagels: Place boiled bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
