# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • High Protein, Low Fat: Each bagel contains 12g of protein and only 2g of fat, making it perfect for fitness enthusiasts and health-conscious eaters.

  • Customizable: Easily adapt the recipe to be gluten-free, dairy-free, or sweeter with simple ingredient swaps.
  • Classic Flavor: The everything bagel seasoning delivers that iconic savory taste everyone loves without the guilt.
02 -
  • Measure Protein Powder Correctly: Spoon the protein powder into your measuring cup and level it off rather than scooping directly, which can pack it down and result in dry bagels.
  • Don't Skip the Parchment Paper: It prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze, ensuring your bagels release perfectly from the baking sheet.
  • Check for Doneness: The bagels should be golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom—this indicates they're fully cooked through.
  • Make Ahead: These bagels are perfect for meal prep. Bake a double batch on Sunday and freeze individually for quick grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
  • Customize Your Seasoning: If everything bagel seasoning is too intense for your taste, reduce the amount or create your own blend with your favorite seeds and spices.
