Ingredients
Scale
Dough:
- 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 cup self-rising flour (or 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1 ½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt)
- 1 scoop (about 30g) unflavored or vanilla protein powder
Egg Wash and Toppings:
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Optional toppings such as everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, or poppy seeds
Instructions
- Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, self-rising flour, and protein powder. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Shape Bagels: Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each piece into a rope and shape into a bagel by pinching the ends together.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- Add Egg Wash and Toppings: Brush each bagel with a beaten egg and sprinkle with desired toppings.
- Air Fry: Place the bagels in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- If using all-purpose flour instead of self-rising, make sure to add baking powder and salt as listed.
- You can use flavored protein powder, but it will affect the taste.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
