If you've ever tried 2-ingredient bagels and ended up with something dense, sticky, or dry, this post is for you. These bake up soft and chewy, but there are a few small dough details that make a big difference. If you enjoy lighter breakfast ideas, be sure to check out more of our Weight Watcher Recipes.

Weight Watchers Bagel Recipe
These 2 Ingredient Weight Watchers Bagels are made with self-rising flour and fat-free Greek yogurt for an easy, high-protein breakfast option. The Greek yogurt helps create soft, fluffy bagels while adding extra protein.
Even if you're not a yogurt fan, don't worry - you can't taste it in the finished bagels. These easy homemade bagels are satisfying, simple to make, and perfect for breakfast or meal prep.

More 2 Ingredient Dough Recipes
This easy 2 ingredient dough can be used for so much more than bagels. Try these simple recipes made with the same Greek yogurt dough:
Ingredients For 2 Ingredient Bagels
- Self rising flour - You can use store-bought self-rising flour or make your own by adding baking powder and salt to all-purpose flour.
- Fat free Greek yogurt - Plain non-fat Greek yogurt helps create soft, fluffy bagels while adding protein.
- Optional: Everything Bagel Seasoning - Adds delicious savory flavor and crunch.
How to Make 2 Ingredient Weight Watchers Bagels
To make these low-fat bagels, mix self-rising flour and Greek yogurt in a large mixing bowl. The dough will be sticky. Transfer it to a lightly floured surface and gently knead until smooth. Divide into 4 equal parts and shape into a bagel shape.
Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet (either covered in parchment paper or sprayed with nonstick cooking spray), brush them with an egg wash, and add any desired toppings. Bake these yummy bagels until they are golden brown.
Topping Ideas For Weight Watchers Bagels
Everything bagel seasoning is one of my favorite toppings for these homemade bagels. It adds delicious savory flavor and a little crunch.
You can also top these bagels with:
- sesame seeds
- poppy seeds
- cinnamon sugar
- shredded cheese
- flaky sea salt
These bagels are easy to customize depending on whether you want a savory or sweet breakfast option.
Tips for the Best 2 Ingredient Bagels
- Toast leftovers for the best texture
- Flour your hands lightly while shaping the dough
- Make the center hole larger than you think since the dough expands while baking
- Don't overwork the dough
- Use parchment paper for easier cleanup
What to Serve With Weight Watchers Bagels
These bagels are delicious with fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, or turkey sausage for an easy breakfast.

FAQs For WW Bagels
Bagels can be stored in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out or getting hard. They can be kept at room temperature for up to two days.
You can also freeze these bagels. To freeze, slice them in half, wrap each bagel in plastic wrap, and place them in a freezer bag. They will stay fresh for up to three months. They can be toasted or warmed in the oven directly from the freezer.
The beauty of these bagels is that you don't need yeast. Instead of waiting around for dough to rise (because who has time for that?), you can get to the baking.
The bagel dough will rise because of the self-rising flour. These bagels are quick to make and deliciously chewy.
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 must adjust the points accordingly if using yogurt with fat.
Plain Greek yogurt works so well in this recipe because of its consistency. It adds the right amount of moisture to the bagels.
Greek yogurt brands vary in moisture. If your dough feels too sticky, sprinkle in a little extra flour until it becomes easier to handle.
They are softer and slightly less chewy than traditional bakery bagels, but they are delicious and satisfying for a lighter option.
Absolutely. Slice them before freezing so they can go directly into the toaster later.
You might be tempted to make the dough ahead of time and defrost it when you want bagels. But I wouldn't advise it. This dough does not freeze well, and its texture suffers when thawed.
Making the dough from scratch doesn't take very long, so you can have it fresh whenever the mood strikes. As long as you have the ingredients you need on standby, you can make this dough when you plan to use it.
To make self-rising flour, combine:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Wonderful!! Looks so good and I can't wait to try these yes, TWO INGREDIENT bagels! I was led to your blog by another blogger who posted about these and shared your link (In My Dream I See). These look so good and will serve as such a great 'base' for all kinds of meals so thank you for sharing!
Vicky says
Thank you for stopping by! I make a batch of them every few days.
Maria says
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!
Sandy says
Do you know how many Total Carbs are in each bagel?
Vicky says
I do not Sandy, sorry.
Cindy says
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.
Sally says
They taste great. I too used a different greek yogurt brand...centers were doughy...any ideas...bake longer?
Vicky says
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.
Stephanie says
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
23 minutes at 350 and then 2 minutes at 500 for 25 minutes total. Hope that helps.
Carol Hemler says
You stole this recipe from skinnytaste. This is not weight watchers recipe or your recipe!!!
Stephanie says
That’s rude she said she saw it else where and that she tried it. She still had to try it and take her own pictures on her own time. 🙄 smh 🤦🏻♀️
Vicky says
Thanks Stephanie, you are very sweet. I heard about from weight watchers friends and have seen it everywhere since then.
Sharon says
Yes my first thought too. I hate hen bloggers steal recipes.
Tracy says
How rude!!! You hungry??!!
Maria says
Where did she ever say this was her recipe or weight watchers for that matter? All she said was her Weight Watcher FRIENDS were raving about it!!! You are just obnoxious and this was totally uncalled for.
Tracy says
Go eat a burger! No one wants to see your rude comments
Sharron says
Are you kidding me. It does not mather were recipe came from they are low in fat no sugar and delicious thanks for sharing they are delicious and very easy to make. I will not ever buy a store bought bagel again. At least I know what is in these bagels. Many many thanks
Vicky says
Thanks so much Sharron!
Dotty 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.
Lea says
Mine don't seem to "rise" maybe. Do I need to let them rest before baking? Or maybe it's the brand of self-rising flour I am using? Anybody else have this issue? They are still delicious! And this recipe is great as a pizza crust too!
Kori says
Made these for the second time today, both times with different 0% Greek yogurt and I made my own self rising flour from your recipe. They were amazing, not sticky and as pictured! Thank you for posting this great recipe 🙂
Linda Faccinto says
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
Linda, I have heard about the cinnamon rolls but haven't tried them yet. Let me know how they go if you try them.
