Creating these Fuzzy Peach High-Protein Bagels was a delightful experiment in my kitchen. I wanted a bagel that was both flavorful and nutritious, so I used protein powder along with fresh peach puree. The aroma when they’re baking is simply heavenly!

After several attempts, I found that adding a little bit of yogurt helps to keep them moist while still maintaining that chewy bagel consistency. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you when you bite into these fruity gems!

Understanding the Ingredients

The star ingredient in these Fuzzy Peach High-Protein Bagels is the peach puree, which not only infuses the bagels with a delightful fruit flavor but also contributes moisture to the dough. Using fresh or canned peaches will yield great results—just make sure the puree is smooth for even distribution. If you’re using canned peaches, opt for those packed in juice instead of syrup to keep the sweetness balanced and the texture right.

Greek yogurt plays a crucial role here as it adds protein, moisture, and a subtle tang. This helps create a tender bagel without the need for excessive fat. If you're looking for a dairy-free option, try using a thick coconut yogurt or a plant-based yogurt alternative, just be mindful of the water content and adjust accordingly.

Shaping and Baking Tips

When shaping the bagels, aim for a uniform size, about 3 inches in diameter, to ensure even baking. Pushing your thumb through the center and gently stretching it will create the classic bagel shape. If the dough feels too sticky, dust your hands with a little flour to make handling easier. Remember, gentle kneading for just a minute will keep them soft, which is key for a chewy texture.

Baking is where the magic happens, so pay attention during the final stages. The bagels should bake until they are golden brown with slightly crisp edges. Look for that lovely golden hue and a gentle lift when you press on them with your finger; they should bounce back slightly. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack to prevent sogginess from steam.

Ingredients

For the Bagels

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup peach puree
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

Combine the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix together the peach puree, Greek yogurt, water, and honey or maple syrup if using.

Form the Dough

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. Knead gently for a minute until smooth.

Shape the Bagels

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a bagel by forming a ring. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Apply Egg Wash

Brush each bagel with a little beaten egg for a shiny finish.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool and Serve

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. Enjoy them fresh or toasted!

Pro Tips

For extra flavor, consider adding cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough. You can also top them with seeds for added crunch!

Storage and Reheating

To keep your Fuzzy Peach High-Protein Bagels fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you'd like to enjoy them longer, consider freezing them. Just make sure to wrap each bagel individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to three months without losing much flavor or texture.

When you're ready to eat a frozen bagel, simply remove it from the freezer and let it thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can pop it directly into a toaster for a quick warming option. This will provide a delightful crunch while reviving that fresh bagel experience.

Creative Serving Suggestions

These bagels are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in numerous ways! For a delicious breakfast, try topping them with a slice of cream cheese and fresh peach slices. A sprinkle of cinnamon adds an extra layer of flavor that pairs beautifully with the peach. If you're post-workout, feel free to smear some almond butter or peanut butter for added protein and healthy fats.

You can also slice the bagels and use them for sandwiches; they make perfect little bases for savory fillings like turkey and avocado or even a veggie-packed omelet. Experiment with different fruit spreads or even savory toppings like smoked salmon to discover your favorite combination.
