If you've been following this blog on social media, you already know how much I love protein pizza. Easy meal prep, and delicious! These gluten free protein pizza bagels were a natural progression. Because how can you beat the delicious cheese pizza topping on a high protein, gluten free bagel?!
This recipe is similar to my Sicilian Protein Pizza recipe, but the ingredients are adjusted to fit the bagel/donut pan. If you're a pizza lover, you must give this recipe a try! Be sure to get good sauce and cheese, because that's what gives the pizza taste. You'll hardly miss the real bagel with all that pizza deliciousness on top!
We used unflavored whey concentrate for this recipe, and I wouldn't make any substitution there. If you need a bagel with Quest unflavored protein, try this one for Protein Bagels.
And we love Rao's sauces. By far the best jarred sauce we've tasted.
