This is one of my most popular recipes of all time because they are delicious and easy to make. These bagels are 3 Smartpoints each, and 3 points on the Green, Blue and Purple plans. 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!
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 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ 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.
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 ½ cup of flour and ½ cup of yogurt. The rest of the recipe remains the same.
This dough will be pretty crumbly at this point. Turn on a lightly floured surface and brush your hands with a bit of flour.
Knead until dough forms and divide into 4 parts. I weigh my dough on this scale to make sure I have 4 equal pieces.
Roll out the dough balls to form a "rope" and pinch the ends together to make a circle.
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!
You can also top these with sesame seeds or poppy seeds if you prefer.
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.
If you are looking for a more traditional chewy bagel texture, then check out these 3 Ingredient Bagels which are boiled from Dward Cooks. They are only 4 points each.
Frequently Asked Questions about 2 Ingredient Bagels
Do I have to use Greek Yogurt in these bagels?
Plain Greek yogurt works best since it has the best consistency when combined with flour. The fat content of the Greek yogurt doesn't matter, but you will have to adjust the points accordingly.
Can I freeze two ingredient dough?
You might be tempted to make the dough ahead of time and just defrost it when you want bagels. But I wouldn't advise it. This dough does not freeze well. It doesn't take very long to take from scratch, so I always do that just before I plan to use it.
