These naturally green bagels are a wholesome way to sneak in some veggies at breakfast or delight your little one who loves all things green! Made with whole grains and spinach, and without the need for boiling, they’re sure to become a feel-good breakfast favorite.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups white whole wheat flour (or a mix of all-purpose and whole wheat flour), plus extra for rolling
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (no substitutions)
- 1 cup loosely packed fresh baby spinach
- 1 tsp honey (optional)
- 1 egg, whisked for egg wash (omit for egg-free)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Blend Wet Ingredients: In a blender, combine the yogurt, spinach, and honey (if using). Blend until smooth.
- Combine and Knead: Pour the blended mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix with a spoon until a rough dough forms. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead until it comes together. If the dough feels sticky, sprinkle with additional flour as needed while kneading.
- Shape the Bagels: Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope approximately 5–6 inches long, then pinch the ends together to form a ring. Place each bagel on the prepared baking sheet.
- Add Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the bagels with the whisked egg. If desired, sprinkle with salt or your favorite seasoning.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Store: Allow the bagels to cool completely before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
