Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • ⅔ cup all-purpose gluten-free flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 scoop (30g) unflavored protein powder
  • 1 pinch salt
Wet Ingredients
  • ⅔ cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • 10 tsp cream cheese for filling
  • 1 whole egg, lightly beaten for egg wash
Seasoning
  • to taste Everything But The Bagel seasoning

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose gluten-free flour, baking powder, unflavored protein powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  3. Fold in the plain Greek yogurt. Use a spatula initially, then switch to your hands, kneading just until the dough comes together smoothly.
Assembly
  1. Divide the dough into ten equal portions. Flatten each portion and place about a teaspoon of cream cheese in the center. Gently fold the dough over the filling, sealing it tightly.
  2. Roll each portion into a smooth ball and place them on the baking sheet. If desired, brush them with the beaten egg and sprinkle with Everything But The Bagel seasoning.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and set. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For serving, try dipping them in cream cheese frosting or ranch, or platter on a charcuterie board for parties. They last in the fridge for 3-4 days or can be frozen for a month.
