High-Protein Greek Yogurt Bagel Bites

Ingredients

• 1.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1.5 tsp Baking powder
• Salt (Optional; use to taste.)
• 1 tsp Baking soda (Used in the baking-soda bath.)
• 1 tsp Dark liquid sweetener (Such as molasses or honey; used in the baking-soda bath.)
• 1.5 cup Hot water (For the baking-soda bath.)
• Bagel seasoning (Use enough to coat each bagel bite; everything bagel seasoning is suggested.)
• Cooking oil spray (For greasing the air-fryer basket.)

Steps

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, plain Greek yogurt, and baking powder. Add the optional salt if desired.

2. 2

   Knead the mixture in the bowl or on a lightly floured work surface for about 2 minutes, until it forms a cohesive, soft dough.

3. 3

   Divide the dough into 15 equal portions and roll each portion between your hands into an individual ball.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, combine the hot water, baking soda, and dark liquid sweetener. Stir until the baking soda is dispersed.

5. 5

   Quickly dip each dough ball into the baking-soda bath, then remove it immediately, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Do not leave the dough submerged.

6. 6

   Roll each dipped bagel bite in bagel seasoning until coated. Prepare the air-fryer basket by lightly greasing it with cooking spray.

7. 7

   Arrange the seasoned bagel bites in the greased air-fryer basket in a single layer, leaving a little space between them for air circulation.

8. 8

   Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for about 12 minutes, or until the bites are puffed and lightly browned on the outside. Serve warm, optionally with cream cheese.

Notes

The written description specifies 15 individual bagel bites; the transcript's wording about the number of bites is unclear, so the written recipe was followed. The creator suggests serving them with cream cheese.
