Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 scoop (30g) unflavored protein powder
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • 10 tsp cream cheese (about 1 tsp per bite)
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten (optional, for egg wash)

Toppings

  • Everything But The Bagel seasoning

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the gluten-free flour, baking powder, unflavored protein powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  2. Add Greek Yogurt: Stir in the plain unsweetened Greek yogurt until a sticky dough forms, making sure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  3. Prepare Dough Balls: Lightly flour a clean surface. Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces and roll each piece into a smooth ball.
  4. Stuff with Cream Cheese: Flatten each dough ball into a small disk, place 1 teaspoon of cream cheese in the center, then carefully seal and reform into a smooth ball to encase the cream cheese.
  5. Apply Egg Wash & Season: Optional: brush the surface of each ball with the beaten egg to help browning. Alternatively, lightly spray with oil. Sprinkle generous amounts of Everything But The Bagel seasoning over each bite.
  6. Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Place the bagel bites in the basket in a single layer and air fry for 12-15 minutes or until the outsides are golden and cooked through.
  7. Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a high-protein snack or breakfast option.

Notes

  • You can omit the egg wash for a dairy-free or vegan option by using oil spray instead.
  • Ensure the dough is sticky but manageable; add a little more yogurt or flour if needed to reach the right consistency.
  • Cooking time may vary based on your air fryer model; adjust as necessary to avoid burning.
  • These bites reheat well in the air fryer or oven for a quick snack.
  • The recipe is gluten-free and packed with protein, making it suitable for those looking for a gluten-free and higher-protein diet option.
