INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • ¾ cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
  • Half a cup of fresh blueberries
  • 1 tbsp zero-calorie sweetener
  • Half tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp egg white (optional)

INGREDIENT NOTES:

SELF-RISING FLOUR:

  • Using self-rising flour will reduce the timing for rising the dough, and this flour does not require the use of yeast. If you do not have this with you, try using a little salt + baking powder (1½ tsp) + all-purpose flour.

FAT-FREE GREEK YOGURT:

  • For this version of the Weight Watchers recipe, we will be using fat-free Greek yogurt so that it reduces caloric count and WW points. The bagels will come out soft, and this yogurt provides protein as well. If you need an alternative, try the use of low-fat Greek yogurt, but note the little increase in points in your WW plan.

BLUEBERRIES:

  • These are the main flavors in these bagels, which give the natural sweet taste, and they also provide moisture to them. A nice color also comes along with the addition of blueberries. Another idea for you to utilize in place of blueberries can be strawberries. If you are comfortable using frozen blueberries, don’t defrost them.

ZERO-CALORIE SWEETENER:

  • This is a great option for Weight Watchers as it does not increase the points for the WW plan and calories as well. Along with this, it provides the recipe with sweetness. If you need an alternative for this product, you can try the use of sugar or even honey, but note that the points for your WW plan will rise.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

  • The overall taste of the bagels will be enhanced if you include this vanilla extract in them. You can omit this component if you like, but its alternative can include almond extract.

EGG WHITE:

  • This is actually optional to use in this recipe. If you require the glossy finish on top of the bagels, you can brush some egg white over them. Milk is also an option to use.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Warm your oven to 190°C.
  2. Utilize parchment paper to place on the tray.
  3. Create a dough by mixing vanilla, Greek yogurt, & flour in a bowl.
  4. Slowly include the sweetener and blueberries in the dough and fold.
  5. Make six even pieces of the dough and then create a bagel shape from them.
  6. Assemble the bagels on top of the tray.
  7. You can brush some optional egg whites on top of each bagel.
  8. Baking time required for this recipe is 20 minutes.
  9. Be sure to let them sit after they bake, and then enjoy your tasty bagels.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

  • Have these bagels with some amount of light cream cheese for a nice flavor.
  • Another idea to use for a spread can be peanut butter.

TIPS:

  • You do not have to mix the dough too much, or the consistency of the bagels will not turn out well.
  • Be sure to fold the blueberries into the dough with care so that they do not break.
  • If it is getting uncomfortable handling the dough, try rinsing your hands and then shaping it up.

STORAGE INFORMATION:

FRIDGE:

  • Keep the bagels inside a tight box for only 4 days max.

FREEZER:

  • Cool down the bagels first after they bake, then transfer them into a zip bag for only 2 months max.

FAQs:

Will frozen blueberries work okay for this recipe?

Is there no use of yeast in this recipe?

This recipe does not require yeast since the self-rising flour gets the job done.

Is it fine to increase the sweetness level?

To make the bagels sweeter, try including more sweetener.
