• Simple: few ingredients and easy steps.
• Healthier: uses Greek yogurt for protein and less fat.
• Flexible: you can add raisins, spices, or seeds.

how to make Greek Yogurt Bagels

1. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl.
2. Add Greek yogurt and work the dough with your hands until it comes together.
3. Fold in raisins and knead a little on a floured surface.
4. Divide the dough into six pieces and form bagels by rolling strands and pinching the ends.
5. Brush with butter mixed with cinnamon and sugar, or sprinkle the mix on top.
6. Bake until golden, cool a few minutes, then slice and toast if you like.

Ingredients :

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups 0% Greek yogurt- I suggest non-fat or low-fat yogurt for this recipe, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/3 cup raisins, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tbsp butter (melted), 1/2 tbsp brown or coconut sugar, 1/8 tsp cinnamon

Directions :

Preheat the oven to 400 F, In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, cinnamon and baking powder., Add in the greek yogurt and start mixing together with your hands. The dough may feel wet and sticky at first, but continue mixing with your hands to form a smoother dough., Once mixed, add in the raisins. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and continue kneading the dough for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle a little extra flour as needed if the dough is sticky., Split the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each one into a strand then pinch the ends together to form the bagel. Repeat with remaining dough and place the bagels on a parchment lined baking sheet., Melt the butter in a small bowl and combine with the cinnamon and sugar. Gently brush each bagel with the cinnamon sugar mix. If you wanted to make these without the butter, combine the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over the bagels., Bake for about 20-25 minutes, until the tops are brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. When serving, I like to slice the bagel in half and toast it for 2 minutes to crisp the inside. Serve with butter, cream cheese or your favorite dip., Refrigerate leftovers for 4-5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, slice the bagels and toast them for a couple of minutes.

how to serve Greek Yogurt Bagels

Slice and toast for extra crunch. Serve with butter, cream cheese, jam, nut butter, or savory spreads. Add sliced cheese or smoked salmon for a richer sandwich.

how to store Greek Yogurt Bagels

Keep cooled bagels in an airtight container in the fridge for 4–5 days. For longer storage, freeze whole or halved bagels in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Toast from frozen or let thaw then toast.

tips to make Greek Yogurt Bagels

• Use non-fat or low-fat Greek yogurt as suggested.
• If dough is sticky, add a little flour, a teaspoon at a time.
• Form the bagels tightly so they keep shape while baking.
• Brush gently with the butter-sugar mix to avoid soggy tops.
• Let bagels cool a bit before slicing to keep crumb from tearing.

variation (if any)

• Savory: omit sugar and cinnamon, add 1/4 cup shredded cheese and herbs.
• Seeded: brush with egg or butter and sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds.
• Fruit: swap raisins for chopped dried cranberries or chopped apricots.
• Gluten-free: try a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, but texture may change.
