Make satisfying, macro-friendly pretzel bites at home using protein powder and fiber sources. These are a healthy alternative to traditional snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup whey protein isolate (unflavored)
  • 1/4 cup oat fiber
  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup psyllium husk powder
  • 1/2 cup water, warm
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil (for brushing)
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the protein powder, oat fiber, flaxseed meal, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
  3. Add the psyllium husk powder and mix briefly.
  4. Pour in the warm water and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the psyllium to absorb the liquid.
  5. Add the egg white to the dough and mix thoroughly until a cohesive, slightly sticky dough ball forms. If the dough is too wet, add a teaspoon of oat fiber.
  6. Divide the dough into 16 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 6 inches long.
  7. Shape each rope into a traditional pretzel or bite shape. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Brush the tops of the pretzels lightly with melted butter or oil and sprinkle with coarse salt.
  9. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pretzels are golden brown and firm to the touch.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
