Whip up these High Protein Gluten-Free Air Fryer Bagels in minutes! Delicious and packed with protein they're perfect for a healthy, homemade snack or breakfast!
In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Stir in the Greek yogurt until a ball of dough forms. If the dough feels sticky, dust your hands with a little extra flour before shaping.
Divide the dough into three equal pieces. Roll each into a rope, then connect the ends to create that classic bagel shape.
Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper and place the bagels inside.
Spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with your favorite bagel toppings—think poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or onion flakes. Optional: Brush with an egg wash before adding toppings for that shiny, bakery-style finish.
Air fry at 300 degrees F for 15-20 minutes until the bagels are golden brown.
Notes
If the dough sticks to your hands, wet them slightly or dust them with flour for easy shaping.
After shaping, pat the tops and sides of the bagels to smooth them out. It’s a little extra love that will give you prettier results.
To keep your bagels light and airy, use gluten-free flour instead of almond flour. Almond flour does not rise.
Add a scoop of unflavored protein powder or use cottage cheese instead of yogurt for an extra protein boost.
Get creative with your toppings. For sweet bagels, try cinnamon sugar. Or use a dash of melted butter and kosher salt or shredded cheese for a savory option.
If you’re making multiple batches for meal prep, bake them on a parchment-lined baking sheet in the oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes.
