Breakfast is probably my favorite meal of the day. I just feel at peace when I have a good cup of coffee and delicious breakfast. It's the little things that bring us joy sometimes and this is one for me as a busy momma! Weekday mornings are hectic in our household. I do my best to squeeze in exercise, a shower, breakfast and getting myself and my two kids dressed for the day all before 8 am. Some ladies make it look easy, but I am that mom flying out the door in the morning trying my best to get my kids to school on time. All that said, I've been trying to meal prep on the weekends to make life during the week easier.
My kids love waffles and pancakes, but I prefer a more savory breakfast. I could have eggs for breakfast every morning of my life and never complain, so that is my breakfast of choice. I came across this high protein bagel recipe on Pinterest and it's quickly become a favorite of mine! They pair perfectly with eggs and avocado for the perfect breakfast sandwich that will keep you full all morning.
RECIPE - from Matt's Fit Chef
1 & 2/3 cup flour
2/3 cup Greek yogurt
1 & 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
Option toppings: cheese, jalapenos, everything bagel seasoning, etc.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
Add the Greek yogurt and stir with a large spoon until a dough forms.
Knead and form the dough into a ball on a floured surface and then divide into 4 equal pieces.
Roll each of the 4 sections into a log about 6 inches in length. Bring the ends together to form a bagel shape, use your fingers to pinch and form the dough so it's securely connected.
Place the bagels on a parchment lined baking sheet. Use the egg to make an egg wash and brush each bagel. Top with any desired topping before baking.
Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Once baked and slightly cooled, enjoy with cream cheese, eggs - whatever you like best and you'll be ready to conquer the day!
