Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning (optional)
Instructions
Start by measuring out your protein powder, almond flour, baking powder, and seasonings. This ensures that you have everything ready to go and prevents any last-minute scrambling. Take a moment to appreciate the delightful aroma of the almond flour as you pour it into your bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, combine your protein powder, almond flour, and baking powder. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well blended. This is an important step because it prevents clumps, ensuring that your bagels have a nice, uniform texture.
Now, it’s time to add your egg and Greek yogurt. These ingredients will give your bagels a rich and chewy texture. Use a spatula to fold everything together gently, ensuring each ingredient meets the other. Enjoy the transformation as the mixture becomes thicker and more cohesive.
Dust your hands with a little almond flour to prevent sticking and divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then gently press your thumb through the middle to shape them into bagels. This step is playful, so have fun with the shapes!
Set your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) and preheat it. This will ensure that your bagels cook evenly and thoroughly. Use this time to clean up your workspace or simply admire your bagel dough!
Carefully place the formed bagels in the air fryer basket. It’s best to leave some space between them so that air can circulate properly. Visualize them puffing up beautifully as they cook!
Cook the bagels for about 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them as they puff up and turn golden brown. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be incredibly inviting!
Once they are done, remove the bagels from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. This brief moment will enhance their texture and let you appreciate your creation. Slice them open and top with your favorite spreads or fillings for a delightful treat.
