Cinnamon Raisin Protein Bagel

Homemade Bagels! No need to waste money on store-bought or stand in line at bakery. You are going to love these. Homemade is the ONLY way!

Ingredients:
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups non-fat plain Greek yogurt (thicker brands work best)
1 tablespoon chia seeds​
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ to ½ cup raisins
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Combine flour, baking powder, chia seeds & salt. Mix well.
• Add the yogurt and mix until all of the flour is incorporated into a dry batter. 
• Knead the dough with clean hands until its dry and elastic (this will take about a minute). 
• In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar & cinnamon until well combined, and knead into dough. 
• Then, knead in raisins until evenly distributed and divide dough into eight balls. 
• One at a time, roll each ball in your palm and form into one long rope (if it breaks apart, just squish it back together). 
• Lay each on the parchment paper & form into a circular shape, cinching the ends to complete a closed bagel. 
• Mist tops with oil spray and bake for about 25 minutes. Let cool before slicing.

Tupps Tibits:  Next time we make these we are going to use 1/2 whole wheat flour & 1/2 all purpose flour to make them a little less gritty or grainy tasting

Just a few ingredients and you have bagels. We topped them with fat free cream cheese.  Also, these did freeze wonderfully. When we were ready to enjoy, we thawed in the microwave, sliced & toasted. Or you could slice before freezing, and place directly in toaster from the freezer. This recipe will be used over and over in our house. Definitely a Keeper recipe!
