Air Fryer Protein Bagels

Print Recipe

Delicious and protein-packed bagels made easily in the air fryer, perfect for breakfast or a quick snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons cottage cheese (2% or 4%)
  • 1 egg (optional)
  • Toppings: everything seasoning, poppy seeds, sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare your dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk them together until well mixed. In another bowl, stir together the cottage cheese and egg (if using) until you have a smooth consistency. Add this mixture into the dry ingredients.
  2. Knead your dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and turn your dough out onto it. Knead the dough for a minute or two until it’s smooth and slightly elastic. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as you go.
  3. Shape the bagels: Divide your dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then gently poke a hole in the center with your fingers, shaping it into a bagel.
  4. Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add toppings: Once shaped, place your bagels on a parchment-lined plate or tray. Brush them with a little water or egg wash (optional) to help your toppings stick, then sprinkle generously with your choice of toppings.
  6. Air fry the bagels: Place your bagels in the air fryer basket, ensuring they’re not touching. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through for an even golden brown finish.
  7. Cool and enjoy: Once cooked, let your bagels cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Customize with your favorite toppings like cheese or spices. Serve with cream cheese or avocado for a hearty treat.
