Low Calorie Bagels Made With 2 Main Ingredients

These low calorie bagels are perfectly soft, chewy, and each one has only 110 calories! Best of all, they have the same taste and texture as regular bagels! 

The Best Low Calorie Bagels

A bagel is one of the most classic breakfast foods of all-time.

I mean, you can't go to a coffee shop, bakery, or breakfast spot without having a number of bagels to choose from.

However, if you're following a low calorie diet - or just trying to eat healthier in general - all of those bagels are pretty much off-limits since a "normal" one can have upwards of 250 calories.

And, I don't know about you, but even though I love bagels, I definitely don't love all of the calories that typically come with them.

So, having said all of that, you know I had to create some low calorie bagels.

And, I know I'm a little biased, but I think they're just as good as the "regular" ones.

They have a soft and fluffy inside with the perfect outer crust and chew. And these healthy bagels only have 110 calories each!

Plus, not only are these low calorie bagels delicious, but they're super quick and easy to make! They don't require any kneading or waiting for the dough to rise, so the effort - and skill - required is super low, and you end up with perfect results every time. 

Oh, and if you're wondering what is the healthiest spread for bagels, this sugar free Nutella is a great choice! You can whip it up while the bagels are baking.

Ingredients

So, this is really a 2 ingredient bagel recipe with just a few more additions to elevate the flavor.

And the added ingredients aren't essential for making these easy bagels, so if you want to make 2 ingredient bagels - just using the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt - instead, you totally can! 

Anyway, here's everything you need to make bagels low calorie:

• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 ½ cup self-rising flour
• ¼ tsp. salt (optional)
• 1 tbsp. light butter, melted (optional)
• 2 tbsp. sesame seeds or everything but the bagel seasoning (optional)

See? You don't need anything crazy to make the most delicious and healthiest bagels. And the 2 main ingredients that you need to use are the Greek yogurt and self-rising flour.

Oh, and for a complete low calorie breakfast, pair one of these bagels with one of these low calorie Starbucks drinks!

How to Make Low Calorie Bagels

So, as you might know, making bagels is a daunting task. But, I promise you this recipe is foolproof, and way easier to make than "normal" bagels are.

Anyway, let's not waste any more time and make the easiest and healthiest bagels ever!

Step 1: Making The Dough

First, preheat the oven to 350ºF (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Now, take out a large bowl and add the flour, yogurt, and salt to it.

Then, mix these ingredients together until the dough is easy to handle. If it's sticky, you might need to add a little extra flour and mix some more.  

Step 2: Shaping The Bagels

Next, lightly flour a flat surface and transfer the dough ball to it. Then divide the dough into 8 even balls, and roll them out one at a time into a log shape.

Now, once you have the log shape formed, close the ends of it to form a circle - or bagel shape.

Step 3: Baking The Low Calorie Bagels

So, now you'll want to put each bagel on the parchment-lined tray and brush the tops of them with melted butter. 

Then, sprinkle some sesame seeds, everything but the bagel seasoning, or really anything you like on top of your bagels. Now all that's left to do is bake 'em for about 15 minutes, or until they're golden brown.

Then, when they're done baking, slice them in half and spread whatever you want on top and enjoy!

How To Store Bagels

Alright, so this easy bagel recipe will make 8 bagels. And there's a more than good chance you'll end up with some leftovers.
