How to Make TikTok's Protein Bagels for a Delicious, Make-Ahead Breakfast

You may have come across a video or two about protein bagels lately, as they have seemingly flooded social media and have been dubbed the perfect make-ahead breakfast. The craze for high-protein meals continues, and we foresee this simple bagel recipe sticking around—because who doesn't love a fluffy, warm bagel to kick off the day? Plus, you'll feel fuller for longer thanks to that extra protein.

Many TikTok creators have shared their first-time experiences making them, while seasoned protein-bagel makers reveal their secrets for seasoning them to perfection, creating a burst of flavor that complements a bacon-egg-and-cheese or a schmear of cream cheese.

One creator, Christine Pfeifer, @eatpayylove, shared how she makes her high-protein bagels, receiving over 3 million views and 223,800 likes with her simple, four-ingredient recipe.

The ensemble of ingredients required is one you probably already have on hand. For Pfeifer's recipe, she includes flour, salt, baking powder, Greek yogurt, egg wash, and the popular Everything Bagel seasoning from Trader Joe's.

To season your bagel, there are many ways to get creative with what you have—shredded cheese, sesame seeds, salt and pepper, chopped jalapeños, and even fruit. You can use this bagel recipe to replace sandwich bread, English muffins, or just your usual morning bagel from the bakery. We love that these bagels are a blank canvas to get creative in the kitchen and bring some variety to your breakfast routine.
