Why are these bagels called 2 Ingredient Bagels?
They’re made with the two ingredient dough that is called for in a lot of Weight Watchers recipes. If you’ve ever made 2 Ingredient Bagels from my site before, this recipe is very similar. The addition of cinnamon and raisins is delicious! And you must also try my Weight Watchers Pizza made with the 2 ingredient bagel dough!
Ingredients needed:
Self Rising Flour Greek Yogurt Cinnamon Raisins Egg
How to make 2 Ingredient Cinnamon Raisin Bagels:
In a bowl, combine self-rising flour and cinnamon with 1 cup of Greek yogurt. Add additional yogurt until you have a good consistency that is not quite sticky. You may or may not need to add a full additional cup of yogurt to the dough. It depends on the moisture content of the yogurt you are using. Work in the raisins. Dump the mixture onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead the dough together by hand for about 5 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. If your dough is sticky add more flour or use less yogurt. I have included more tips in the recipe below as well as what brands of Greek yogurt work best for making two ingredient bagels. Divide the dough into eight equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
Use your thumb to make a hole in the center of each ball, and stretch the dough to form a ring (as shown). Place the rings of dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with egg wash. The egg wash step is optional, but it does help add a glossy finish to the baked bagels. Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes, then turn up the heat on the oven to 450 degrees F., and return the bagels to the oven to bake for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. This will give these 2 Ingredient Cinnamon Raisin Bagels a chance to brown and help provide a more normal bagel texture.
And there they are! It’s amazing how great of a substitute these are for real bagels. But they have fewer calories (172 per bagel), and are probably a much better choice health-wise. Do they taste exactly like a bagel you’d buy at a bagel shop? Probably not. But they’re a nice alternative if you’re eating light.
Weight Watchers Points:
If you happen to be following the WW plan, you can count 5 points for each bagel on any color plan.
Eat 2 Ingredient Cinnamon Raisin Bagels just like you’d enjoy a regular bagel. Toast a bagel, and spread a little butter or cream cheese on top. Or eat it plain. Enjoy!
