Ingredients
Scale
- ⅔ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 scoop (30g) plain protein powder
- Pinch of salt
- ⅔ cup plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt
- 10 teaspoons cream cheese (1 teaspoon per bite)
- 1 lightly beaten egg for brushing (optional)
- Everything But The Bagel seasoning for topping
Instructions
- Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, protein powder, and salt.
- Add the yogurt: Stir in the Greek yogurt until a soft, sticky dough forms.
- Shape the dough: Dust your work surface with flour, divide the dough into 10 portions, and shape each into a small ball.
- Fill with cream cheese: Press each ball flat, spoon a teaspoon of cream cheese into the center, then pinch the edges closed and roll back into a smooth round.
- Finish the tops: Brush lightly with egg wash or mist with oil. Sprinkle Everything But The Bagel seasoning over each one.
- Preheat your air fryer: Give the air fryer 5 minutes at 350°F (175°C) to heat up.
- Cook the bites: Air fry the bagel bites for 5–6 minutes, or until the tops turn a beautiful golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Let them rest for a minute or two before digging in — they’re best enjoyed warm.
