There’s nothing more convenient than making a sandwich when you need something portable to enjoy on the go. But to make a sandwich that will really fill you up, it should be high in protein, anywhere from 15 to 30 grams, because protein is one of the key nutrients that keeps you fuller for longer. Great for breakfast or lunch! Oven or air fryer!

High Protein Oat Rolls with Everything Bagel Seasoning

This high protein bread recipe is a great place to start – the rolls contain 10.5 grams of protein before you even make a sandwich! Add eggs, turkey, tuna, lox, or whatever your go-to is, and you’ll quickly meet your protein quota. Your sandwich should contain a balance of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, which will keep you satiated for longer. This bread checks off all the boxes!

How to Make Oat Sandwich Rolls

I’ve been counting macros and looking for ways to get more protein in my diet, which is how these healthy oat rolls happened. I took my trusted bagel recipe and swapped the yogurt for higher-protein cottage cheese and used oat flour instead of all-purpose. The only other three ingredients are baking powder, salt, and egg white. I then rolled the dough into buns and baked them in the oven for 25 minutes. They turned out great!

Variations and Tips

  • Use fat free cottage cheese to make them 4 points each.
  • Refrigerate the leftovers for up to 4 days, then toast or air fry to heat up.
  • Swap the cottage cheese for fat free Greek yogurt (should be thick, like Stonyfield).
  • Make them dairy-free with Kite Hill Greek Yogurt
  • Can’t find oat flour? Make your own by placing oats in the food processor.
  • Regular wheat flour can also be used here.

High Protein Sandwich Fillings:

You can stuff these oat rolls with just about anything – from peanut butter and jelly to turkey and cheese. Here are some of my favorite sandwich combos for inspiration, but feel free to get creative!
