Easy to make & good for you too!

Not your classic NYC bagels made with yeast and boiled. These bagels are more in the family of a biscuit or scone in how they are made.

Bake these on the weekend for a grab-n-go breakfast that’s nutritious & delicious. They are a great start to your morning or as a snack during the day.

This is a great base recipe so that the flavor profile can be altered by adding different toppings or mix-ins.

Nutrition Remix Facts:

  • Only 1 gram of fat per bagel
  • 8 grams of protein because of the nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 4 grams of fiber because of swapping all-purpose flour for whole wheat pastry flour.

Notes

Why Aquafaba

Aquafaba is the liquid drained from canned or cooked chickpeas. It can be used as an egg substitute in recipes. In this recipe, it is being used instead of egg whites as an “egg wash”. 

Vegan

Substitute  the nonfat Greek yogurt with plant based greek yogurt.

Pumpkin Bagel

Add 1/4 cup pumpkin puree to the mixture when forming the dough ball. You may need to add a little flour if the dough is too wet.
