Can I make these high protein bagel bites without eggs?

Yes, you can substitute the egg with 3 tablespoons of unsweetened applesauce or a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water). The texture will be slightly different but still delicious.

Why are my bagel bites too dense?

This usually happens from using too much flour or overmixing the dough. Measure your flour by spooning it into the cup and leveling off, and mix just until combined for lighter bagel bites.

Can I use non-fat Greek yogurt instead?

You can, but full-fat creates a richer, more tender texture. Non-fat yogurt may result in slightly drier bagel bites, so you might need to reduce the flour by a tablespoon or two.

How do I make these in an air fryer?

Set your air fryer to 375°F and cook the bagel bites for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. They'll get wonderfully crispy on the outside while staying soft inside.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, self-rising flour, egg, and everything bagel seasoning. Mix until ingredients come together into a soft, slightly sticky dough, about 30-45 seconds. If dough sticks completely to your hands, add a little more flour.
Divide the dough into 8-10 equal portions (about 2 ounces each) and roll each into a ball about the size of a golf ball.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart, and gently flatten each one to about ¾ inch thick.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch. Smaller bites need 12 minutes, larger ones need 15 minutes.
Let cool for 3-5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Make sure to use self-rising flour for the best texture. If you only have all-purpose flour, add 1½ teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt per cup of flour.
You can customize the seasoning to your preference. Try garlic powder, onion powder, or sesame seeds.
These bagel bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
For extra flavor, brush the tops with melted butter before baking.
These can be made in an air fryer at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Don’t overmix the dough or bagel bites will be tough. Mix just until combined.
