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
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten (optional, for egg wash)

Filling and Topping

  • 10 tsp cream cheese (about 1 tsp per bite)
  • Everything But The Bagel seasoning, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, unflavored protein powder, and a pinch of salt until evenly blended.
  2. Form dough: Add the plain unsweetened Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Prepare dough pieces: Lightly flour your work surface and divide the dough into 10 equal pieces, rolling each piece into a smooth ball.
  4. Fill the bites: Flatten each dough ball slightly, place about 1 teaspoon of cream cheese in the center, then carefully fold and seal the dough around the filling, reshaping into a ball.
  5. Apply egg wash and seasoning: Brush the dough balls with the lightly beaten egg to create a golden crust or spray lightly with oil for a similar effect. Sprinkle each with Everything But The Bagel seasoning generously.
  6. Preheat air fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and preheat it for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  7. Air fry the bagel bites: Place the bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until they turn golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Cool and serve: Allow the bagel bites to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Using gluten-free flour makes these bites suitable for gluten-sensitive individuals.
  • The egg wash is optional but recommended for a glossy, golden finish.
  • You can substitute cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative to make this recipe lactose-free.
  • Ensure the air fryer is preheated to get the perfect crispiness.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer to maintain crispness.
