EVERYTHING PROTEIN BAGELS
Savory everything bagels packed with 22g of protein offer a delicious way to fuel your day with wholesome goodness. These bagels boast a satisfying chewy texture with a crispy, flavorful crust topped generously with the classic everything bagel seasoning—think crunchy sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, onion, and a hint of salt—that delivers a burst of savory delight in every bite. Rich in protein and balanced with healthy carbs, they make for a perfect post-workout meal or a hearty breakfast that keeps you energized for hours. Their dense, yet tender crumb pairs beautifully with cream cheese, smoked salmon, or avocado, making them versatile for any craving. Whether you're meal prepping for the week or enjoying a quick, satisfying snack, these bagels are a great gluten-free option if you use a suitable alternative flour. For vegans, swapping out dairy ingredients or using plant-based binders keeps them plant-based and equally delicious. For best results, ensure your dough is well-kneaded and allow it to rise properly—patience pays off with a light, airy interior. These protein-packed bagels are a tasty and nutritious addition to any diet, satisfying your savory cravings while supporting your fitness goals.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Slice is too dry
Try reducing baking time by 2-3 minutes, or add an extra tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the batter.
Not rising properly
Check that your baking powder is fresh (less than 6 months old). Also avoid overmixing the batter.
Gummy texture in center
This usually means under-baking. Use a toothpick to test - it should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Too dense
Make sure you're measuring protein powder correctly. Too much protein powder can make baked goods dense.
