Listen up, cinnamon sugar bagel lovers… we’ve turned our favorite nostalgic childhood breakfast into a make-ahead egg bake that has all the flavor of said favorite but enough protein to get you through your morning and recover from your run. All it takes are the ingredients below: bagels, eggs, egg whites, vanilla Greek yogurt, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Think cinnamon sugar bagels meet bread pudding and that’s your breakfast! Who doesn’t want that?!
The EBTB Egg Bake has been a hit around here for a while now, so it was only a matter of time until we turned that savory option into a sweet one. Just chop up 4 plain bagels and mix up the eggs + egg whites + Greek yogurt + vanilla extract + brown sugar + cinnamon and you’ve got an insanely satisfying breakfast for the week. (If it lasts that long!) Each serving (1/6th of the recipe) contains 25 g of protein and 60 g of carbs making it an incredibly balanced way to start your morning or recover from that morning workout. If you need more protein than that, just top with more Greek yogurt. This only lastest 3 days in our house with 3 out of the 4 of us devouring it. The fourth decided he still likes the Chocolate Blender Muffins best for breakfast. More for us!
The ‘hardest’ part about this recipe is waiting for it to bake. Since it has a whole lotta eggs and liquid in there, it does take over an hour to bake. But, you can go on with your life and let this bad boy bake through. Promise it’s worth the wait!
