Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- ⅔ cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 scoop (30g) unflavored protein powder
- Pinch of salt
- ⅔ cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
Filling & Topping
- 10 tsp cream cheese (about 1 tsp per bite)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten (optional, for egg wash)
- Everything But The Bagel seasoning, to taste
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, protein powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Mix Dough: Add the plain unsweetened Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Divide and Shape Dough: Lightly flour your work surface, then divide the dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
- Fill Bagel Bites: Flatten each dough ball and place 1 teaspoon of cream cheese in the center.
- Seal and Reshape: Carefully fold the dough around the cream cheese to seal it inside, then reshape into smooth balls.
- Apply Egg Wash and Season: Brush each ball with beaten egg (optional) or spray lightly with oil, then sprinkle with Everything But The Bagel seasoning on top.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Air Fry: Place the bagel bites in the air fryer basket and cook for 5–6 minutes or until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from air fryer, let cool slightly, and enjoy your warm, protein-packed bagel bites.
Notes
- Using gluten-free flour makes this recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- The egg wash is optional but helps to achieve a golden, glossy finish.
- You can substitute the cream cheese filling with flavored or light cream cheese varieties for different tastes.
- Be sure not to overfill the bagel bites to prevent the cream cheese from leaking during cooking.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, these can be baked in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 12-15 minutes.
