Healthy Everything Bagels + Sunday Prep

Happy Sunday W+A friends! It was a frigid weekend filled with freezing temps, but overall we had a great few days (including snow days) to relax and get some food shopping done. I've been saving a few recipes up for some weekend trial and error attempts, but we tried our hands at some healthy everything bagels and they came out SO good! I know you see a lot of our indulgent eats on Whiskey + Aprons Instagram and Facebook pages, but believe it or not John and I eat very healthy during the week and save our splurges for the weekend. Sunday mornings call for bagels so we figured we'd attempt to whip up a guilt free version right in our very own kitchen. The recipe calls for only five ingredients and was super easy. Here's everything you'll need for the bagels.


Ingredients (yields two bagels)

1/2 c of self rising flour (we used Pilsbury)
1/2 c of nonfat greek yogurt (drained) 
2 tbsp of Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel Seasoning (or whatever topping you like)
pinch of salt 
2 tbsp of egg whites 


Directions 

Mix together 1/2 cup of flour and 1/2 cup of nonfat yogurt in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt to mixture. The dough will be a bit crumbly until you knead it. Add four to your surface and hands and knead into a ball, dividing into two pieces. Roll both pieces into logs, about 6 inches long. Bring both sides together and pinch in the middle forming a circle. Base the bagels with an egg wash and top with seasoning. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. If using foil spray with a little nonstick spray. Back on 350 degrees for 20 minutes. For the last two minutes increase heat to 500 and bake until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for five minutes before removing from baking sheet. If your making extras for the week, package in a ziplock bag and refrigerate until you decide to reheat or come to room temperature. 


Roll into 6 inch logs


Shape into bagels and pinch at the top


The finished product came out perfect. We taste tested one and it even cut down the center like a regular bagel. Add some butter, cream cheese or make an egg sandwich. We definitely will be using this easy dough for pizzas and other breakfast recipes in the future. We kept the baking going with some delicious pumpkin cinnamon chocolate chip carrot cake muffins. I've posted this recipe a few posts back and its still one of our go tos for a healthy breakfast, dessert or snack options during the week. Check out the recipe here. We will be posting a lot more of our recipes on here to come. Make sure to check back and share with your family and friends. Have a wonderful start to the week friends + family! xx

Almond Poppy Seed + Lemon Loaf

Happy Spring? Yes,  the question mark is needed since we had snow on Long Island today and its April second! I'd say about six inches total, but we were happy to see the sun appear and melt some of it away. We started on some yard work this week and were getting the itch to start doing some planting, but luckily we held out for now. Snow days are always the best days to test out a new recipe and typically we like to try our hands at baking on these chilly days. We just received some of Kodiak Cake's  new Almond Poppy Seed Power Cakes Flapjack + Waffle mix. We decided to use this delicious mix for some baking and the results turned out absolutely delicious. Here's everything you will need:  Ingredients 3 cups of Kodiak Mix  1/2 cup of nonfat Greek yogurt 1 tsp vanilla extract  1 tsp of baking powder  3 eggs, beaten  4 tbsp of unsalted butter, softened  1/3 cup of brown sugar  3/4 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk  3 tbsp of lemon zest  1/8 cup
