These Three Ingredient Blueberry Bagels are high protein, lower carb, and can be made gluten free. The base of this recipe is only three simple ingredients, there’s no added sugar, and no waiting for them to rise! Save this one for your next brunch or Sunday bake session.

I haven’t really tried making bagels at home because it seemed like every recipe requires yeast, hours of time, and is more of a process than I’d like. It wasn’t until I made my Pumpkin Bagels when I realized there was an easier way that was just as delicious as getting a bagel out AND it was healthier. Plus, more satisfying because you made it all yourself! Taking this recipe I’ve made before, I made a few adjustments to make the base even more simple and versatile. Now, you only need three ingredients for the perfect bagel base – using all pantry staples! It’s one of the easiest doughs you’ll ever make. No yeast, no waiting around for rising. Just mix, shape, brush with egg wash, and bake!

Blueberry bagels are one of my favorite flavors of bagels to get so once I perfected this base recipe, I immediately turned it into a blueberry version. They’re soft, subtly sweet, a little tangy, and taste just like a bagel you would get at a bakery! But what I really love about these, besides how good they taste, is how balanced they are. You’re getting protein from the Greek yogurt, healthy fats from the almond flour, and carbs from the flour and blueberries to fuel you without a big sugar spike. They’re one of those breakfasts or snacks that actually fill you up and keep you satisfied. To keep it even more balanced, have it with a side of chicken sausage, cup of bone broth, protein coffee, or Greek yogurt!

This recipe makes four bagels so it’s perfect to prep for the week, make extra to have a stash in the freezer, or even bake up for a brunch with friends or family. Top them with butter, honey butter, nut butter, a swipe of cream cheese, or turn them into a sandwich. There’s so many options and they all taste amazing!

Why You’ll Love This

• Freezer-friendly  – Make a batch, freeze, and toast when you need a quick breakfast or snack. They hold up so well!
• Higher in protein – This recipe makes four bagels and each one has about ten grams of protein!
• Customizable base – The base is only three ingredients – almond flour, all-purpose flour, and Greek yogurt! Switch up the add-ins by swapping the blueberries for chocolate chips, other fruit, adding a cinnamon swirl , or even adding shredded cheese and herbs for a savory twist.
• Dietary friendly – These are high protein, lower carb, refined sugar free, and can easily be made gluten free.

What You’ll Need

• Greek yogurt – This is what adds protein and gives the bagels a light, chewy texture.
• Almond flour – I use the Kirkland Almond Flour from Costco because it’s a great deal. Any fine almond flour will work. I haven’t tried this with any other flours and replacing almond flour can be tricky!
• Organic flour – I used Bob’s Red Mill Organic All Purpose Flour for mine and if you want these to be gluten free you can use a 1:1 Gluten Free All Purpose Flour.
• Baking powder
• Sea salt
• Blueberries – You can add either fresh or frozen blueberries or use different add-ins like another berry, nuts, seeds, chocolate chips, etc.
• Egg – This is for the egg wash which gives the bagels their nice outside crunch and golden color.

How To Make

1. Preheat the air fryer to 350F and line the basket with parchment paper. If you’re using the oven, preheat it to 350F and line a baking sheet.
2. In a large bowl, add the dry ingredients, except for the blueberries and egg, and mix until a dough forms. Then, stir in the blueberries until evenly mixed in.
3. Roll the dough into four balls and then slightly flatten and form a hole in the center of each dough ball.
4. Place in the lined air fryer basket or on the lined baking sheet.
5. For the egg wash, whisk one egg in a small bowl. Then, brush it lightly onto the top of each bagel.
6. Air fry for 30-35 minutes or until golden. If you’re baking in the oven, bake for 35-40 minutes.
7. Let the bagels cool for at least ten minutes before you slice and enjoy!
