Description
Tiny, protein-packed bagel puffs filled with a creamy dollop of cream cheese — ready in minutes and perfect for breakfasts, snacks, or lunchboxes.
Ingredients
Scale
- ⅔ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 scoop (30 g) unflavored protein powder
- A pinch of salt
- ⅔ cup plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt
- 10 teaspoons cream cheese (about 1 tsp per bite)
- 1 egg, lightly whisked (optional — for brushing)
- Everything But The Bagel seasoning, to finish
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, protein powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Add the Greek yogurt and stir until a tacky, cohesive dough forms. It should be sticky but workable.
- Lightly flour your work surface. Divide the dough into 10 even portions and roll each into a smooth ball.
- Flatten a piece in your palm, place about 1 teaspoon of cream cheese in the center, then pull the edges up and seal so the filling is enclosed. Roll gently to re-form a ball.
- If you like a shiny finish, brush each bite with the beaten egg; alternatively, use a quick spray of oil. Generously sprinkle Everything But The Bagel seasoning on top.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Arrange the bagel bites in the basket with a little space between them and cook for 5–6 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.
- Let them rest briefly so the filling cools a touch, then serve warm.
Notes
- Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- To freeze: flash-freeze on a tray, transfer to a freezer bag, and store up to 3 months.
- Reheat from frozen in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 4–5 minutes, or warm from the fridge in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes (timing varies by appliance).
