Ingredients
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup low/non-fat Greek yogurt
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
2 small jalapeño peppers, finely diced (deseeded for less heat)
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)
1 egg, whisked
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 400°F . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3: Add Greek Yogurt & Mix
Add the Greek yogurt and mix until a dough forms. It may be a little sticky—this is normal!
Step 4: Fold in Jalapeños & Cheese
Gently fold in the diced jalapeños and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Step 5: Shape & Brush
Lightly flour your hands and shape the 6-inch strands, and then bring the ends together to form a bagel shape. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each bagel with the whisked egg for a golden, glossy finish.
Step 6: Bake & Enjoy
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bagel are cooked through. Sprinkle with extra cheddar cheese in the last few minutes for an extra cheesy topping.
Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
