Recipe:
This recipe is a spin on the popular Tiktok two ingredient bagel trend. Whole wheat flour, baking powder, and Greek yogurt create an easy, healthy, and high-protein bagel dough that is soft and chewy like a real bagel.
My bagel bites are snack-sized and use freeze-dried blueberries to create the flavor of a blueberry bagel. Crushing the blueberries slightly adds flavor to every bite while keeping some whole blueberry pieces.
These bagel bites incorporate two of my top ten beauty foods. Yogurt is a great source of calcium, which is important for strong bones and teeth. Blueberries are rich in antioxidants, which may help protect skin from wrinkles due to their anti-aging effects.
Ingredients:
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1⁄2 cup freeze-dried blueberries, crushed slightly
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar and stir until fully combined. Stir in Greek yogurt and mix until a dough forms. Knead in the freeze-dried blueberries. Roll the dough into 12 balls and place evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
