If you like breakfast more on the sweet side, but you also want to prioritize protein, then this recipe is for you! It’s the perfect balance of sweet, but not overly sweet, while including protein for satiation and blood sugar control. These Chocolate Collagen Protein Bagels pack 23 grams of protein in each bagel! They are chocolately, lightly sweetened with pure maple syrup, and absolutely scrumptious with a smear of cream cheese. They also serve as a delicious mid-afternoon snack if you have a chocolate craving but still need something that will hold you over until dinner.

Nutritional benefits of this recipe

Collagen accounts for about 30% off your body’s protein. It provides structure, support, and strength to your skin, hair, nails, muscles, joints, connective tissues, bones, and more. It’s super easy to implement in your diet from adding it to coffee, smoothies, oatmeal, and more. I used Further Food collagen for this!
Cacao powder is rich in magnesium, zinc, iron, and antioxidants. Another one of my favorite superfoods, especially for hormone health.
Greek yogurt is rich in protein, b-vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, and more. It’s filling and a great way to add protein to your diet. Be sure to always opt for grass-fed dairy products!
I’m a big believer in high-quality flour. I use Sunrise Flour Mill for all my baking because it’s non-GMO, unbleached, properly grown, properly milled, and organic. Wheat products in America are highly sprayed with Glyphosate which is shown to wreak havoc on our gut microbiome. Properly grown and prepped wheat products are easier to digest and are actually nutrient-dense.

Ingredients for Chocolate Collagen Protein Bagels

Further Food Chocolate Collagen

Yogurt – I used non-fat Greek yogurt and recommend you do the same – or you can add more flour if using higher fat yogurts. You’ll just add flour until the dough is only slightly sticky rather than super sticky.

White flour – I use Sunrise Flour Mill which is non-GMO, organic, and properly milled.

Cacao powder – to add extra chocolate flavor

Maple syrup – to add a bit of sweetness.

Chocolate chips

Baking powder

Salt

How to make Chocolate Collagen Protein Bagels

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
Add the yogurt and maple syrup and mix with a spatula until it’s a shaggy dough.
Dump the shaggy dough onto a floured surface. Knead together with a floured hand until it’s a smooth ball. The dough will be slightly sticky but shouldn’t be too sticky to handle, so add a bit more flour if needed.
Let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, stick your thumb through the center to create a hole and stretch and form into a large bagel with about 1.5” hole in the center. Repeat with each portion.
Place them on the lined baking sheet and brush with the whisked egg for an egg wash.
Bake the bagels for 28-32 minutes, until the bagels are firm to the touch. Mine were perfect at 30 minutes on a stainless steel baking sheet. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet. The texture becomes better as it cools.
To store: Let the bagels cool completely to room temperature first. Then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and eat within 5 days. You can also store in the freezer for up to 3 months – freeze them individually wrapped and placed in a freezer friendly container. When ready, let thaw at room temp for a couple hours or in the refrigerator overnight.

Equipment:

Kitchen scale

Baking sheet – I use stainless steel

Parchment paper – I use unbleached

Mixing bowl

Spatula

Modifications and variations

These bagels are chocolatey but not super sweet, so feel free to add a tablespoon or two of coconut sugar if you are wanting a sweet bagel. I recommend coconut sugar instead of maple syrup because if you add extra maple syrup, then you’ll need extra flour since it’s sticky.
I have not tried any other protein powder for these other than the Further Food chocolate collagen. Every protein powder is different, so you may have to adjust the flour and sweetener if you switch it up since every protein powder has a different texture and sweetness
