Protein Chocolate Chip & Blueberry Bagels

These are soooooo good! My kids ask me to make these ALL the time. Esp my picky eater, she loves them!! Def can add whatever you want to them, or as toppings. I love mine with either plain or strawberry cream cheese. Yum! I know what I am making this week! No judging, our microwave broke and we decided to order new appliances, these were just old and needed to go, had them for 8 years. I LOVE our new appliances!  Funny story content: I was making mini corndogs and the stupid muffins would not stop crumbling! I was pissed and kinda sorta hit the pan on the side of our counter until it dented! oops.  My son, the one speaking, loves throwing that in my face. 😀  You Will Need: 2 Cups Flour 1 tsp Salt 2 tsp Baking Powder 1 tsp Cinnamon 1 Cup Greek Whole Milk Vanilla Yogurt 2 tbsp Honey  Chocolate Chips/Blueberries (I used frozen wild ones, thawed) Melted Butter, brushed on top before cooking. Cook 400 degrees for 10-15 mins or until golden brown.

Coffee Concentrate

Coffee is not my go to, however my husband loves it! I have a VERY VERY low caffeine tolerance, a few sips and I am hyper and jittery all day long. No joke.. One day I drank maybe 2 oz of coffee and I painted our whole kitchen in an hour! My husband was amazed! 😂 Anyhow, with prices on the rise, I am trying to find ways to save! F K-Cups!! F Cold Brew for $7.99 (not on sale)!! No thank you inflation! I figured out exactly how to make it CHEAP!!! And taste just as fresh as it did when I brewed it! I bought Starbucks Vanilla Coffee (only one I like) on sale for $6.99 a bag. I was able to make 14 jars of coffee cold brew costing me about $.49 a 32 oz jar! or $.98 for 64 oz (in store they are $7.99 on sale for $5.00 for 1 64 oz container of Starbucks cold brew). 
You Will Need:
1 1/2 Cups Ground Coffee
16 Cups Water
Instant Pot
Mason Jars
First place your coffee grounds in the instant pot, add 16 cups of flittered water (I have a water system we used). Pressure cook for 5 minutes and allow to cool by itself (unlocking on its own takes about an hour). Once unlocked, I strained it threw a fine strainer. Poured into jars half way full, add flittered water the rest of the way leaving 1 inch headspace so they can expand when they freeze. And boom thats it. Place a ring and lid on top, and freeze. I made this stronger on purpose so when it thaws if it waters down, it won't affect the flavor, it will be perfect. 
Let me know if you give this a try and be sure to share this and pin it! 😀 Never know when you will be without power, and having coffee you can thaw and refreeze is a must!
