If you are on a weight loss program, you probably thought bagels were off-limits and normally you’d be right. But these 2 Ingredient Weight Watchers Bagels are a game changer. This is one of my most popular recipes of all time because they are delicious and easy to make. They are just 3 points each on the Freestyle program so you can enjoy a good sized bagel with no guilt. So what is the secret to making these bagels low in points? Read on to find out how to make them and when you are done check out our 2 Ingredient Bagels with Cinnamon Sugar Topping. You won’t regret it!

These 2 Ingredient Weight Watchers Bagels are a gamThese 2 Ingredient Bagels are a game changer. Just 3 points each on the Weight Watchers Freestyle program. 2 Ingredient Dough makes the most yummy bagels! #weightwatchers #twoingredientdough


HOW CAN YOU MAKE WW BAGELS WITH JUST TWO INGREDIENTS

The secret to these 2 Ingredient Weight Watchers Bagels is fat free Greek yogurt. Fat free Greek yogurt is 0 points on the Weight Watchers Freestyle plan and is one of the main ingredients in these bagels. The crazy thing is that you cannot taste the yogurt at all in these bagels. Give them a try and see for yourself! You won’t believe that you are able to eat these and stay on program.

One final note before I share how to make them – these are called 2 Ingredient Bagels, since the bagel is made from flour and fat free Greek yogurt.  You do add some toppings like and egg wash and seasoning so technically, it might be more than two.

2 INGREDIENT WEIGHT WATCHERS BAGELS

These bagels use self rising flour which you can buy pre-made or make yourself. I make my own self rising flour and have always had wonderful results.

HOW TO MAKE SELF RISING FLOUR

1 cup flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

Sift together the above ingredients and use whenever a recipe calls for self rising flour. This will make 1 cup of self rising flour.

2 Ingredient Weight Watchers Bagels

To make 4 bagels, combine 1 cup of self rising flour and 1 cup of Fage Total 0% Greek Yogurt in a bowl until a dough starts to form. If you just want to make 2 bagels, just use 1/2 cup of flour and 1/2 cup of yogurt. The rest of the recipe remains the same.

2 Ingredient Weight Watchers Bagels

This dough will be pretty crumbly at this point. Turn on a lightly floured surface and brush your hands with a bit of flour.

2 Ingredient Weight Watchers Bagels

Knead until dough forms and divide into 4 parts. I weigh my dough on this scale to make sure I have 4 equal pieces.

2 Ingredient Weight Watchers Bagels

Roll out the dough balls to form a “rope” and pinch the ends together to make a circle.

2 Ingredient Weight Watchers Bagels

WHAT TOPPINGS CAN I USE FOR TWO INGREDIENT BAGELS?

Brush bagels with an egg wash and sprinkle with Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel seasoning. This stuff is amazing! I use it on bagels, eggs, avocado toast…everything!

2 Ingredient Weight Watchers Bagels

You can also top these with sesame seeds or poppy seeds if you prefer.

2 Ingredient Weight Watchers Bagels

HOW LONG SHOULD I BAKE 2 INGREDIENT BAGELS?

Bake at 350 degrees for 23 minutes and 500 degrees for 2 minutes so the tops can brown. These are our favorite baking sheets from Nodic Ware.

I like to cut these in half and spray them with a few squirts of Parkay Vegetable Oil Spray which has zero calories. You can also toast these, use them for a breakfast sandwich or freeze them for use later.

      I make the begals yesterday. Very easy just make two .I think the next time I make them, will cook them longer than 23minutes. I plan to make the dough this week and make a pizza. I like the dough and it. Tastes great.

    wonder if I could make these bagels using rye flour and top them with caraway seeds

    • Marlene Sherman says

      I tried rye but they didn’t come out as good, didn’t rise like my whole wheat ones did

    SEVEN…I count seven ingredients! Where do you get TWO? Very misleading. There is an actual recipe out there with only TWO ingredients. This just isn’t it!!!

    • Vicky says

      January 25, 2018 at 9:58 am

      Thank you for the feedback Diane. I agree with you, which is why I mention in the post “One final note before I share how to make them – these are called 2 Ingredient Bagels, since the bagel is made from flour and fat free Greek yogurt. You do add some toppings like and egg wash and seasoning so technically, it might be more than two.” I only included a recipe for self rising flour because people might not have it and wonder how to make it. They can be made with only self rising flour and the yogurt, but again I was trying to be helpful to readers by letting them know how to make the self rising flour. I like to add the egg wash and seasoning, some may not. Everyone at my meeting calls these 2 ingredient bagels since the dough is just two ingredients. Whatever people call them, they are delicious. 🙂

      Actually, there are technically 2 ingredients in this; self rising flour and yogurt. But she is kind enough to provide n additional recipe on how to make your own self-rising flour. Some people just aren’t happy unless they’re bringing other people down. Tsk tsk

      Is the snark necessary? You can make the bagels with TWO ingredients and then top them with something else. I’ve made them with just the TWO ingredients and they are quite good.

      Whoa… so angry? This is a TWO ingredient recipe as all that is needed is self rising flour and Greek yogurt. The added toppings are EXTRA as you can make these with cinnamon, as pretzels or bagels.. lots of options. Next the other three ingredients are IF you do NOT have SELF RISING flour. Hope you have a better day.

      You clearly didn’t read her comments, she says that there are technically a few additional ingredients you can use, but you don’t have to use them. The 2 MAIN ingredients are yogurt & flour. I don’t understand why the need to be so nasty?

      Diane Keys ….bah humbug. You can make them with 2 ingredients (self rising flour and Greek yogurt)or you can add additional ingredients in the form of toppings.

      These turned out beautifully. So delicious. I went the long, hard, extra mile to add the egg wash and “Everything” topping. It was so much work but so worth it. (<—snarky)

    love, loved these bagel’s……..and they were so easy….. One question are we supposed to knead the dough until it is not sticky any more????… mine was still spicy

    • Vicky says

      January 26, 2018 at 8:53 am

      You can dust the surface with a little flour and that usually helps with the sticky factor. You are right, they are super easy. I usually make 4 at a time and will freeze the extras. Thank you for the kind words Gwen. It means a lot when someone takes the time to leave a nice comment. Enjoy the weekend!

      • Jessica Mahler says

        January 27, 2018 at 10:06 am

        For those following a weight-loss plan, do be careful that you count your bench flour (the extra flour that you add when kneading the dough).

        We love these and have made the recipe many times, but to get a dough that looks like the one in this pic (and doesn’t leave half the recipe stuck to your hands), we’ve found we have to add a LOT more flour. In our case, we found it was changing the points from 3 to 4 or 5. Of course, you could also make smaller bagels to keep the point value low.

          I made the dough ahead of time because of a time crunch and put in the fridge. When I rolled it out I found I didn’t need any flour on the board, just on my hands.

          I used the dough hook on my stand mixer and it worked great, even for 1/2 recipe (2 bagels). Since the dough was firm I did not need very much flour to roll them out. I actually just kind of shaped them with my hands.

    Unfortunately I couldn’t find the fage yogurt ended up using Trader Joe’s 0 fat yogurt. It was thick but i had to use 2 cups of flour cause it was too wet. I put dough in fridge and try to bake tomorrow and see if it works. Any comment, reassurance would be appreciated.

    • MJ says

      February 3, 2018 at 5:10 pm

      Fage yogurt is strained so it is not as watery. You might try straining TJs yogurt in a coffee filter for an hour or so to remove excess water. Measure after straining.

    • Jkrag says

      I forgot I had a question. After you bake them at 350 for 23 minutes. Do you take them out, raise the temp to 500 and then stick them in for two more minutes?

      • Vicky says

        March 16, 2018 at 12:07 pm

        Yes, though lately I have been leaving them in for 3-5 more minutes at 350 until they are the desired color. You can try that too.

    January 28, 2018 at 7:11 pm

    Can these be made with a whole grain flour? I’d love to try them, but I don’t even keep white flour in my house. Also, has anyone tried to make them with gluten free flour? That would be awesome. Thanks, Carol

  10. Fluffysquirrel says

    January 29, 2018 at 5:27 am

    My family loves these . I divided the dough into 2 bagels instead of 3, and they were gummy on the inside. Do I leave them in longer? Did I cut them too soon before letting them cool?

    • Vicky says

      February 2, 2018 at 9:16 am

      Maybe if the bagels are a bit thicker you can try leaving them in a few minutes more at 350. Hope that helps.

    Thank you for the recipe. I have made them once so far and I put cinnamon and sugar on one and nothing on the others. I went to Trader Joe’s today and got the topping I’m going to make them again right now. My husband ate two roof them from the first batch. I plan on making cinnamon rolls soon. They are a light enough low enough point bagel to enjoy occasionally. I toasted one with peanut butter. Use pb2 and it’s low points to. Thanks again.

    • Vicky says

          Hi Vickie, I’ve been making thes bagels and they are delicious. I use Fage yogurt and self rising flour.
          I sprinkle them with lemon butter and dash and found baking-at 400 for 22 minute s is perfect.

  17. Stephanie says

    January 30, 2018 at 6:32 pm

    Question: when you say bake 23 min then additional 2 min at 500 does that mean at 23 min increase temp, then once the oven beeps again set it for another 2 minutes? Or that the recipe should only take 25 min total?

    Thanks planning on making these tomorrow

    • Vicky says

      February 2, 2018 at 9:13 am

      23 minutes at 350 and then 2 minutes at 500 for 25 minutes total. Hope that helps.

      Hi Sally, I have only used Fage so I have no idea if a different brand would be different. You can try baking them a few minutes longer at 350.

      Add up the carbs from one cup of flour from the self rising flour bag and then the yogurt container and divide by the number of bagels you made from it.

    February 6, 2018 at 8:57 pm

    I’m looking forward to making these, but I have a question: Bagels are boiled in water before they’re baked. I wonder if i could do that? Have you had any experience with this?

    Now I have a reason to use that yogurt/cream cheese I have in the fridge! Thanks!

      I usually just leave them on the counter for 3-4 days in a zip top bag and toast them. You’d probably get a few more days out of them in the refrigerator.

    I made them last night. Just the two ingredients. And bake them up kind of like biscuits. And have them with homemade vegetable soup. They really tasted like sourdough rolls they were delicious. unfortunately my 18 year old son decided he liked them too so now I have to make more.

    This was awful! 1:1 ratio WAY off. Had to add a LOT more flour. And the dough puffed up way more than anticipated and obliterated the holes. This recipe needs some serious testing. The only thing I changed was using Greek yogurt that was not 0 fat, but that should not have made such a dramatic difference. Funny…tried to rate 1 star and it filled in all 5 and I couldn’t change it, unless I went back and started over.

    Hello Vicky,

    I just tried this recipe and the bagels turned out good, except that they stuck to the baking sheet. Is this unusual? I didn’t see anything about using non stick spray….just wondering what I should do in the future. The nice browned bottoms of my bagels were so stuck that they would not come off the sheet with the rest of the bagels 🙁
    Thank you in advance !

    • Vicky says

      March 16, 2018 at 12:17 pm

      Hi Terri, If you have a non stick pan you can probably skip the spray, but if not cooking spray would probably help.

    I had to comment on these. I found this recipe because I had greek yogurt to use up. I tried the bagels a few weeks ago with added spices in with the flour(garlic and onion powders, season salt ect) because I always add some spices. And no spice topping like in the recipe, only because no stores near me carry anything remotely close. And holy moley!! They are very delicious! To my fiancee and I they taste like sour dough. So he thought a big pizza crust with the recipe(2 cups of each makes a nice 14 inch pizza) would be great. And he was right! This recipes can be used in so many different ways! I just made semi-flat buns for burgers tonight. I don’t think I have the will power to not eat one before tonight! LOL Thank you so much for sharing!

    This is very misleading. Bagels are by definition a dense bread made by boiling the dough before baking it. This is nothing more than a bagel-shaped bread recipe.

    Hi,

    I just started the WW program this week and made the bagels this morning after hearing rave reviews. They came out delicious – although yours looks better 🙂 Yours seem to have risen more than mine did. It’s ok – I’ll get better at making them. My question to you is this – can you make the dough and form the bagels the night before and then do the egg wash and toppings in the morning? By the way, I baked on parchment paper without any oils or sprays – always do. My baking comes out perfect and doesn’t stick with parchment.

    • Vicky says

      April 20, 2018 at 11:29 am

      It’s really weird, I made a batch this week that didn’t rise as much. I think the weather can affect it.

    I followed this recipe almost exactly and they turned out perfect. The only thing I changed was after 23 minutes I used the high broiler setting to brown the tops quickly.

    I made these “knowing” they weren’t going to taste good. I was so surprised how great they were! Obviously they aren’t going to be EXACTLY like a bagel because this is a two ingredient alternative dough, but I can only slightly tell the difference! The inside texture is a little more dough-ier than a traditional bagel – but I loved the fresh baked taste. Thank you for sharing!

    Made these yesterday. They were delicious! Unfortunately my yogurt was quite watery but I just kept adding flour till they were workable. I am not counting calories so flour didn’t matter. I cooked 4 of them in my air fryer for 10 to 11 minutes.

    • Vicky says

      As long as you followed the directions for making self rising flour (subbing gluten free for regular) it should work. The points might be different though.

      Sometimes mine does that with things because it doesn’t use the exact items I have used. It is 3 points on Freestyle and 4 points on the old plan.

    I was skeptical but they turned out well. I made the dough and stuck in the fridge because of an evneing time crunch. When I took out to prepare, I only needed to dust my hands with flour, none on the counter. My only problem was as I rolled the ropes out, they kept spring back, so the bagels were smaller and more dense than I’d hoped. Perhaps it was because the dough was refrigerated?

    I am shaking my head about some of the negative comments above. Guess folks feel liked it’s their bully pulpit and they can be rude. There are polite ways to say it didn’t work out or your didn’t like them. I, for one, appreciate your sharing this recipe.

    • Hyp1317 says

      Check the expiration date on your self rising flour, or if you made your own, then check the date on the baking powder you used, that is usually the cause of why my baked goods don’t turn out. I made these last night and they are AMAZING!!

    A comment about boiling them that I saw on Kirbiecravings.com was this:

    A few recipes I found boiled the bagels before baking them. Traditional NY bagels are boiled first but I didn’t feel that it was necessary for this recipe. While it did expand the bagels and make them bigger, they also took a lot longer to bake and they were not as smooth and round because of the boiling.

    Two questions:
    I’m not understanding the step from a 350 degree oven to 500. Do you le, ave the bagels in as the temp increases or take them out … increase the temp and put back in for the 2min.?

    Also, while probably more points – can you make with whole wheat flour?

    Can’t wait to try the recipes you’ve posted. They look yummy.

    Hello! I tried to make the bagels but after 23 minutes they were still gooey inside. Is there a trick to make sure the dough is the right consistency before baking it? Also after 23 minutes I should take the bagels out the over reset the temperature and when it reaches 500 put them back in for two minutes correct? Thanks for the recipe. I really want to make them but I’m not the best baker. HELP!

I just turned the oven from bake to broil (HI, or 500° depending on your stove) for the last two minutes. I made 2 topped with sesame seeds and 2 cinnamon-topped to which I added some dried cranberries (before rolling). It really is amazing how you can’t taste the yogurt at all.
